A ten-year-old girl started menstruating, but then it stopped again.
In general, if a ten-year-old girl starts menstruating and then her period stops, it could be due to physiological factors, or possibly caused by malnutrition, unstable endocrine hormone levels, etc. A detailed analysis is as follows:
1. Physiological Factors
During early puberty, girls' menstrual cycles are not yet fully stabilized and intermittent menstruation may occur. This is because the endometrium, ovaries, and the nervous system in the brain that regulates menstruation have not completely matured.
2. Pathological Factors
1) Malnutrition
Malnutrition is another possible cause. If a girl lacks sufficient nutrition, her body may be unable to support the normal functioning of the menstrual cycle.
2) Unstable Endocrine Hormone Levels
In some girls, menstrual cycles remain irregular during the first few years after menarche, and there may even be several months without a period. This results from hormonal fluctuations common during puberty.
Besides the above, other potential causes include endocrine disorders, uterine fibroids, and ovarian cysts. It is recommended to seek timely medical evaluation and follow the doctor’s advice for treatment to prevent adverse effects on health.
