Patient's question:
Is it normal? Medical history and treatment effects: No treatment has been received. What kind of help do you want: A 10-year-old girl has her menstrual period twice a month for three months. Is it normal? How should it be handled?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, it is normal and there is no need to worry. Currently, if the child does not have other symptoms, do not blindly use medication for treatment.Advice: For a girl's first menstrual period, it usually takes about one and a half years until the menstruation becomes regular. Currently, it is recommended to provide the child with balanced nutrition and ensure adequate rest without overexertion.
During the first six months after a girl starts her period, menstruation may be irregular, so having two periods in one month is also normal. Generally, it will become more regular after six months, with a adjustment period involved. Parents should not be anxious.
Girls should pay attention to the following during menstruation:
- Pay special attention to calcium supplementation in the diet before and after menstruation.
- Pay attention to menstrual hygiene and keep warm. Avoid cold baths.
- Avoid strenuous exercise and ensure adequate rest while maintaining a positive mood.
