Patient's question:
My daughter is now 16 years old, but she has not shown any signs of growth and development, and she has not even had her first menstrual 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 she hasn't experienced any growth or development, nor has her menstruation started. This situation may be considered due to congenital abnormalities in the reproductive system or abnormal endocrine hormones. It is recommended to take her to a top-tier hospital's gynecology clinic for a thorough examination of the six endocrine hormones and a detailed pelvic ultrasound. Once the cause is identified, symptomatic treatment should be administered. It's important to seek medical attention early, as this could affect her future.
