Question
My daughter started her period at 98 weeks and a half, and it has been eight months now. Initially, it was irregular, but now it’s normal. She is 154cm tall and weighs 54kg. Is this normal?
Answer
Hello, based on your description, your daughter’s onset of menstruation before ten and a half weeks of age may be a sign of early puberty. An accurate diagnosis requires hormone level tests. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for a check-up on sexual hormone levels. If the results are abnormal, treatment should be based on the situation. Typically, menstruation around the age of 12 is considered normal. Your daughter’s condition may require further investigation.
