Doctor's answer:
Hello, this belongs to menstrual disorders during puberty. The causes of menstrual disorders during puberty are generally due to incomplete development of ovarian function. At the time of menarche, the weight of the ovaries is only 40% of that in adulthood. Afterward, the ovaries continue to develop and grow. Due to the instability of ovarian function and regulatory mechanisms, menstrual cycles may not occur regularly every month within the first six months to one year after menarche. Some may experience their second period after several months, half a year, or even a year. This is not a pathological phenomenon and will gradually return to regular monthly cycles over time.It is important to increase nutrition, enhance physical fitness, and avoid overburdening oneself with excessive academic workload or fatigue. At the same time, it is essential to eliminate fear and anxiety about menstruation. Pay attention to keeping warm during the menstrual period and ensure adequate rest. If menstrual disorders persist for a long time, it is necessary to seek medical attention for examination and symptomatic treatment.
