Patient's question:
Hello, my colleague's daughter started her period when she was 14 and a half years old. The first three times, it happened once a month, which was normal. However, from the fourth time until now (the girl is now 15 and a half years old), it has been very irregular, occurring every two or three months. Is this phenomenon normal? Should she take medication to regulate it? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hello, this is not a problem. Because in early adolescence, a girl's endocrine system is not yet balanced, and there may be irregular menstruation in the 1-2 years after menarche. Many may experience amenorrhea due to stress. Don't worry about it for now. Just avoid cold and raw foods during menstruation. If you're still not sure, you can take some time to have an ultrasound to check. Wish you a speedy recovery.
