Patient's question:
My daughter is now 16 years old, but she has not shown any signs of growth and development. She has not even had her period. We are very worried because the other children who play with her have all completed their growth and development, and only my daughter has not shown any signs of activity. What should we do about primary amenorrhea?Doctor's answer:
Your daughter is already 16 years old, and there has been no growth or development, nor has her menstruation started. This situation may be considered to be caused by congenital abnormalities in the reproductive system or abnormal endocrine hormones. It is recommended to take her to a tertiary hospital's gynecology clinic for a thorough examination of the six endocrine hormones and a detailed pelvic ultrasound to identify the cause. After finding the reason, symptomatic treatment should be carried out. If there are any problems, it is important to seek medical attention early, otherwise it may affect the child's first half of life.
