What are the reasons for delayed menarche in girls?

1. General malnutrition. Picky eating and excessive weight loss lead to malnutrition and insufficient body fat storage, which delays the menarche of girls. As long as you correct bad habits such as picky eating and excessive dieting, and ensure that you take in a certain amount of high-protein food and fat and other nutrients, you will generally have your first menstruation soon.

2. Malformation or incomplete development of male reproductive organs. Common ones include hymen atresia, primary uterine and ovarian dysplasia, congenital absence of uterus or uterus and ovaries, incomplete uterine development, sex chromosome abnormalities, etc.

3. Systemic chronic diseases. Thyroid disease, tuberculosis, pituitary tumor, cirrhosis, nephritis, anemia, etc. can affect all normal functions of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, leading to delayed menstruation.

4. Overload sports competitions. Excessive exercise may also delay the onset of menstruation, which is common in long-distance runners, ballet dancers and gymnasts.
