How to handle irregular menstruation in a 12-year-old girl

Patient's question:

A 11-and-a-half-year-old girl started her menstrual period, which was normal for three months. Now she hasn't had her period for four consecutive months. Should she see a doctor?

Doctor's answer:

Hello:
The development is not yet mature, and irregular menstruation is a normal phenomenon. Pay attention to strengthening nutrition and enhancing physical fitness. As you age, it will gradually return to normal.
Adolescent girls are prone to emotional fluctuations. Factors such as academic or work stress, high physical activity, changes in the environment and climate, and nutritional imbalances can affect the regulatory function of the cerebral cortex on ovarian hormones, leading to menstrual disorders.
