Generally speaking, girls who have just started menstruating are usually in their teens. During adolescence, due to the instability of ovarian function, girls are prone to emotional fluctuations. Factors such as academic stress, excessive pressure, exams, intense physical activity, emotional tension, changes in environment or climate, and malnutrition can affect the cerebral cortex's regulation of ovarian hormones, leading to menstrual irregularities. Irregular periods, early or delayed menstruation, are normal. There's no need to worry—these conditions will gradually improve over time.
