Can a 12-year-old girl who has not had her period become pregnant?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

It is normal not to have experienced menarche yet. It generally occurs around the age of 14. Due to better nutrition currently, girls' physical development may advance, leading to an earlier onset of menarche. Delayed menarche can be caused by factors such as poorer constitution, dietary preferences, and genetics, which may result in slower reproductive system development. Currently, there is no need to worry, as it generally does not affect fertility. It is advisable to ensure the child's nutrition is balanced.
