Irregular periods in a teenager: menstruatsionny cycle in girls

The onset of first menstruation indicates the physiological maturation of girls, but on an emotional level, the young lady is still not the generated child. After all menarche It occurs at a young age - from 11 years. There are exceptions, conditional on such problems as irregular periods or delay a teenager. What should I do in this situation?

Age of onset of menstruation

Girls outperform boys in development for about 2-3 years. Puberty begins earlier: harbingers monthly It appears from 8 to 10 years, but the process takes between 2 to 5 years. This period is characterized by an increase in breast adipose tissue and hair growth in the pubic area and armpits. It carried out production of hormones which are responsible for reproductive function - estradiol, progesterone. At the designated time should go and menarche.

Approximate age girls to start menstruatsionnogo cycle - from 12 to 14 years. The body gradually prepares the girls to reproduce fertility, timely start to the formation of all the phases of the cycle.

Among the standardized criteria for determining the age norm allocate the external features of the girls:

1. Short stature, slow growth provoke delay menstruation.
2. High growth, excessive body weight accelerates the beginning of the first cycle.

What should be a menstrual cycle at teenagers

Features monthly considered in terms of duration, regularity, the volume of emissions.

Formed menstrual cycle lasts 21-36 days. In adolescents the number range from 20 to 45 days. The cycle is set long - formation for two years.

About How long are the first monthly girls read the article here.

Estrogen in young women is produced on a regular basis, which is not true of LH (luteinizing hormone), which is responsible for the conception phase. Slight secretion of substances blocking ovulation offensive - the number of days of the cycle is reduced by half, explaining the reason why there is no month in 13, 14, 15 years.

Although the exit time the egg is difficult to determine, getting pregnant at a young age can be.

Ovulation or does not occur at all, or is premature - before or during menstruation. This happens until you establish a regular cycle.

Sami release are from 3 to 7 days. To the doctor to address, when the length of the difference regulation significant: in one month short (3 days), in the other - long (10 days), and so on..

Regarding the volume of blood is not exactly worry. For women formed such a sign - a sign of disorders of the genitourinary, reproductive system. Scarce and irregular periods in a teenager 13 years and older - the norm. First period (menarche) minor as genital function is not working fully. A more serious cause for concern - will not come in a timely manner, within one month.

Why the delayed first month a teenager

Answering this question is important to consider the genetics. Heredity determines the approximate age when the first selection to appear. If menses began at 14 years old in the mother, it is possible that the daughter of menstruation will occur in this age. The genetic factor regulates cyclical discharge.

When fifteen girls show signs of puberty (breast tenderness, feminine outlines of the figure) does not start of bleeding, talk about amenorrhea.

Separate the primary and secondary amenorrhea:

1. Primary - no discharge at the common features of puberty.
2. Secondary - allocation stop, disappear in a previously menstruating girls (after 6 months).

The cause of primary amenorrhea often performs uterine pathology and inflammatory processes in the uterus.

Why is there no monthly in adolescents: Causes other than pregnancy

When the month was, but for some reason they are not renewed talk about the secondary amenorrhea. The term "regular loop" does not tend to representatives of puberty.

The first two years - a stage of formation, therefore, critical days are very unpredictable:

1. The younger the girl, the delay is more inclined to normal.
2. The older - the greater the risk for the development of pathologies.

That's why the girls 13 and 14 years of delay menstruation is not a sign of pathology. However, regular violations menstruatsionnogo cycle at 16 year old girls - a sign of complications in the setting cycle.

To fix this problem you must identify the cause of the cycle of failure at the teenager.
