Why didn't I have my period at 14?

After girls reach puberty, their bodies will begin to grow and develop, such as breast development. In addition to changes in the body, another important manifestation is menstruation. Girls usually have their periods when they are around 14 years old, but some girls have delayed their periods after they are 14 years old, which makes their parents very worried. So why haven't they had their periods at the age of 14?

1. Genetic factors

The late menarche of girls may be caused by genetic factors. In other words, if their mothers or other direct female elders have entered puberty late on average, then they are likely to be affected by genetic inheritance, resulting in late menarche.

2. Irregular diet

Irregular diet is also a major factor that causes girls to not have menstruation at the age of 14. Some girls often do not eat on time during puberty, or suffer from anorexia nervosa, and being too light will also cause the start of menstruation to be delayed.

3. Exercise regularly

Some girls have been practicing some sports since they were young, such as gymnastics, swimming, etc. They usually start exercising when they are very young, and the intensity of the exercise is very high. For these girls, if they still do not stop high-intensity exercise after the age of 14, it will also affect their menarche.

Why hasn't a 14-year-old girl had her period yet? We have made a brief introduction to this issue above. In addition to the reasons introduced above, a 14-year-old girl's delayed menstruation may also be caused by long-term psychological stress or some diseases of the body. I hope that all parents and friends will pay more attention to their children.
