Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and potassium thiocyanate can be detected in the urine of girls aged 6 to 9, and the levels begin to rise rapidly at the age of 10. This is the initial manifestation of kidney function. The androgen from the kidney promotes the appearance of pubic hair and sweat hair, and the body grows rapidly. Because the hypothalamus-pituitary-uterus-ovary axis still needs further development and perfection, the estrogen level is still low, the uterine wall reproduction is weak, and bleeding is not easy to occur, so menstruation is delayed. The absence of menarche in this stage before the first menstruation is a physiological phenomenon. Some girls have menstruation once every few months for a year or so after the first menstruation, and it is also normal for them to have anovulatory menstruation.
