What are the causes of irregular menstruation in adolescent girls?

In our lives, some adolescent girls have just started menstruating, but they still have some problems with irregular menstruation. In severe cases, they even have dysmenorrhea. This is also very troubling for many parents, so they also want to know what are the causes of irregular menstruation in adolescent girls?

The ovaries of adolescent girls are not fully developed and cannot ovulate, so there is no progesterone produced by the corpus luteum to regulate the menstrual cycle. The follicles in the ovaries develop one batch after another. Before the previous batch of follicles has atrophied, the next batch has already begun to develop. The fluctuation of estrogen levels produced by batches of follicles will cause part of the endometrium to shed and bleed, which is the "menstruation" of adolescent girls.

Because the ovaries do not ovulate and there is no progesterone, the endometrium can neither shed regularly nor be completely and thoroughly shed at one time. Instead, part of it sheds today, and part of it sheds tomorrow. By the time the back endometrium sheds, a new endometrium has grown where the front endometrium shed. In this way, the endometrium grows and sheds at the same time, and uterine bleeding continues and is often difficult to stop on its own. The clinical manifestations are menstruation every 40-50 days, and the menstrual period is very long. After about 2-3 years, the ovaries are fully developed and normal ovulation occurs, and menstruation will become normal.

Adolescent girls are in a stage of rapid physical and reproductive organ development, so they should strengthen their nutrition and supplement with foods rich in protein, vitamins, iron, calcium, etc. People with anemia should also be given iron supplements to correct anemia, improve their overall condition, arrange rest time reasonably, engage in appropriate physical exercise, and pay attention to the combination of work and rest.

Therefore, parents can start to solve the problems introduced above. For adolescent girls with irregular menstruation, at least it can play a relatively good improvement role. However, for some girls with very serious menstrual irregularities, it is recommended to choose Chinese medicine to regulate the body.
