Question
An 11.5-year-old girl experienced her first menstruation last month, but her menstrual cycle has been very irregular. Her period started on December 8th and lasted until December 10th, then restarted on December 18th, ending on December 28th. This month (January), her period lasted from January 11th to January 17th, and today (January 19th), it has started again. How should this situation be handled?
Answer
During the initial phase of menstruation, it is common for a girl’s menstrual cycle to be unstable, and there is no need for special treatment at this time. If this irregularity persists for several months, it may be necessary to seek opsonize. Many girls experience irregular periods during their first menstruation, and the body usually adjusts itself within two years. Depending on the severity of the situation, medication may be required. At present, it may be considered to consult with a traditional Chinese medicine department and take prescribed medication.
