Age of menarche for girls

Everyone knows that girls' puberty will be accompanied by menarche, but for girls who have not yet experienced this, the first contact will undoubtedly be panic, so many parents are particularly concerned about the time when their children's first menstruation comes. So what is the normal time range for menstruation? What size is most suitable?

Girls generally grow and develop earlier than boys. After their breasts begin to grow and develop for a period of time, girls will have their first menstruation. But this time is usually between the ages of twelve and sixteen. One year in the morning, it was normal. But if it exceeds 11 years old, it is very abnormal and may cause the child to stagnate.

Some mothers know this time range, so they are thinking about when to tell their children in detail about menstruation. However, some girls experience their first menstruation at the age of nine or ten. When they go to the hospital for a physical check-up, they find out that something is wrong. Their children may find it difficult to stop growing and will not grow much taller. Because of precocious puberty, the bone age is measured two or three years faster, and the time for normal growth is much shorter, so they cannot grow taller.

How can the first menstruation come early? This is mainly due to precocious puberty, and there are two main reasons for this:

1. Fast food diet

Nowadays, Western food is becoming more and more popular in our country. Many children like to eat McDonald's and KFC, and many parents spoil them and let them eat. However, these foods are high in protein and calories, which can easily lead to precocious puberty and are one of the main reasons for early menstruation.

2. Active food supplementation

Many girls grow up thin, that is, they have small frames and cannot gain weight. Parents are a little worried when they see their children are too light, and they think that their children will grow taller and fatter if they eat more and better. However, this will be counterproductive, because various high-nutrition supplements will more or less contain some substances that promote growth, which can easily lead to precocious puberty.
