Menstruation lasting for over ten days in children is often caused by endocrine disorders. It is recommended to first visit a hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound examination. If the development of the uterus and ovaries appears normal, medications can be used to stop the bleeding and regulate the menstrual cycle. Menstrual irregularities are common during adolescence, especially in the first few years after menarche. In most cases, the menstrual cycle gradually returns to normal with age. Traditional Chinese patent medicines, such as Wuji Baifeng Pill, may be used to help regulate the condition. It is advisable to go to the hospital for a thorough evaluation.
