What is false menarche?

The main manifestation of false menarche in girls is that girls suddenly have a small amount of menstruation after they are over 10 years old. Maybe it will be just this once, and then they will not have menstruation for several months. After a while, the girl had her period again, and she had her period normally every month since then. In this case, the second time a girl has her period is considered the real menarche. The first time she has her period is just unintentional bleeding, which is mostly caused by the sudden change of estrogen during puberty.

It is also common for girls to have false menarche. This is mainly because the female urinary system has not yet fully developed, but the estrogen in the body has begun to undergo regular changes, so there will be a sudden small amount of uterine wall bleeding. However, since the uterus has not yet fully developed, this temporary bleeding will not last too long. Although there may be blood, it is a small amount of bleeding, and there should be no discomfort in the abdomen. When a girl has false menarche, she should pay attention to keeping her abdomen warm, avoid eating spicy or irritating foods, and avoid eating cold foods, so as to reduce the irritation to the uterus. During the first menstruation, as the female hormone levels change, girls may feel tired. They should rest more and avoid participating in too strenuous activities.

False menarche generally does not affect girls' physical and mental health, but attention should be paid to hygiene and sanitary napkins should be used. If a woman experiences severe abdominal pain during her first false menstruation, she should see a doctor as soon as possible.

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.
