12-year-old girl has irregular menstruation, experts tell you the reason

On the day of the clinic, a shy 12-year-old girl walked into my clinic. She lowered her head and whispered to me that her menstruation was irregular, sometimes once a month, sometimes once every two or three months. She was worried that she was sick or something was wrong. I believe that many adolescent girls have had such doubts and worries. Today I will briefly talk about it.

What are the reasons for irregular menstruation in a 12-year-old girl?

1. Incomplete development of ovaries: 12-year-old girls are young, and the functions of their organs are not fully developed, especially the ovarian function may not be fully developed. This will lead to irregular menstruation, but as they age and their bodies gradually develop, their menstruation will gradually become regular. This is a normal physiological phenomenon and does not require special treatment.

2. Malnutrition: If a girl is picky about food or has a partial diet for a long time, it may lead to malnutrition, affect the normal function of the ovaries, and cause irregular menstruation.

3. Irregular work and rest schedule: If a 12-year-old girl stays up late for a long time or does not pay attention to rest, it may cause hormonal disorders in the body, thus affecting the regularity of menstruation.

4. Excessive mental stress: Study pressure, family pressure, etc. may cause girls to be in a state of tension for a long time, causing endocrine disorders, and thus leading to abnormal menstruation.

Dear adolescent girls, irregular menstruation is a common phenomenon within two years after menarche, so don't worry too much. But if irregular menstruation lasts for a long time, or is accompanied by other uncomfortable symptoms, such as abdominal pain, breast tenderness, etc., it is recommended to seek medical attention in time. Remember, every girl is unique, and our bodies have their own rhythms and rules. As long as we take good care of it, it will accompany us to grow in the healthiest way!
