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.
