14-year-old girl has irregular menstruation

Menarche usually indicates that women have begun to have reproductive function and the ability to have sexual intercourse, and is a sign that female body organs are beginning to mature. Menstrual conditions are closely related to the female reproductive system. Normal women usually start menstruation at around 12 years old. At this time, it is necessary to pay attention to physical health and understand some knowledge about female gynecology. So what should you do if a 14-year-old girl has irregular menstruation?

1. Irregular menstruation at 14 years old

1. There are many reasons for irregular menstruation in girls. If the situation is not too serious, don't worry too much. Develop good eating and living habits, eat more nutritious food, a balanced diet, eat more foods containing protein and vitamins, as well as fresh fruits and vegetables. Try to eat less or no spicy, oily, or irritating foods.

2. In addition to being related to normal diet and lifestyle habits, this situation may be caused by some physical illness. If this is the case, you need to pay great attention to it and go to the hospital for examination in time to avoid the condition worsening over time, which will cause a lot of trouble for later treatment. Early treatment is relatively easier to control.

3. If a 14-year-old girl encounters this situation, she must not feel embarrassed. She should communicate with her parents in time. This is a very normal thing. Don't worry too much and don't develop an inferiority complex. Face it positively. Escaping will not solve the problem. Stay up late less often. If you have bad habits of smoking and drinking, you must restrain yourself for a period of time.

In short, it is quite common for 14-year-old girls to have irregular menstruation. Don’t worry too much about this situation. It is very important to maintain a good attitude. Secondly, you should communicate with your parents in time and develop good eating and living habits. If the situation is more serious, you should use drug-assisted treatment. I hope you get well soon.

2. When does a girl's menarche basically occur?

The age of menarche in girls generally fluctuates between 10 and 16 years old, with most cases occurring between 13 and 14 years old. But some girls begin sexual development very early, and their first menstruation occurs at the age of 9 to 10. According to our extensive surveys in Harbin, this type of girls accounts for about 1%. When faced with such situations, most parents feel surprised, fearing that their children are not developing normally or have some disease; the children themselves are also prone to panic and do not understand the physiological phenomena occurring at such a young age. At this moment, the care and correct guidance of parents and teachers will help eliminate the girl's emotional tension.

This apparent early onset of menarche is due to individual differences in children's development and has inherent characteristics when observed as a whole. Generally, girls who start menstruation early will enter puberty earlier. While other people experience a sudden growth in height at the age of 11 to 12, these girls grow greatly in height at the age of 8 or 9 (7 to 8 cm per year) and weigh nearly 40 kg. Normal girls begin to develop breasts around the age of 11, but this type of girls begin to develop breasts at the age of 9 to 10.

Another important feature is that the bone age of girls who have their first menstruation at the age of 9 to 10 years old is significantly older than their calendar age. For example, some girls started menstruating at the age of 9.5, and their bone age was already 13.3 years old at that time. We conducted detailed physical examinations on more than 60 girls who had their first menstruation before the age of 11. The results showed that the bone age of their wrist bones was over 12 years old, and the average bone age was 2.66 years higher than the calendar age. This is because bone development and sex development are both regulated by endocrine hormones, and the two are closely related. Bone age can be determined by taking an X-ray of the wrist bones.

In addition, the psychological development of most girls with physiologically early menarche is also synchronized with this. Their self-control, ability to adapt to the external environment, and ability to regulate emotions are better than those of their peers.
