DR Archana Bajaj Good Afternoon, My daughter aged 15 has irregular periods, how can we correct it. Dis Pelvis scans couple of times and all seems to be fine. She is 5.3" of height and weighs around 66kgs.

Ans: Dear Vinay,
yes, it's natural as she says. she's responding to the hormonal fluctuations related to menopause.
So, there is no solution to a problem, as there is no problem in the first place. It's just the natural progression of a woman through various stages of her life. Support her by understanding her and her emotions better.
And intercourse isn't the only way to connect. Intimacy can be non-sexual as well; cuddling, kissing, holding hands are forms of being close. This may take the pressure of the performance and it may lead to intercourse. But if you are simply going to obsess over it, neither of you are going to be ready and it will just drive a wall between the two of you. Instead focus on the beautiful things that you have shared so far and what you can build on from no on....a lot of support, care, love and understanding is the need of the hour...

All the best!

Ans: A girl's body may not follow an exact schedule. It's common, especially in the first 2 years after a girl starts getting her period, to skip periods or to have irregular periods.

Ans: Hello
Since your daughter is 13 years old and just started getting periods that is menarche, she is in her puberty. She is undergoing lots of hormonal changes which is very common in this age group from 10 to 12 to 14 to 16 years of age group.
She will be having physical, cognitive and psychosocial changes. She is bound to have mood swings, irritation, change in behavior. During this phase they are in establishment of own identity, autonomy, sexuality. Not going to school can happen cause if awkwardness in periods, scare of staining clothes, not able to perform activities as routine due to pain or bleeding.
All these are common behavioral changes in most teenagers.
1) We as a parent we need to make ourselves available for open communication. With our children without hesitation.
2) We should be more like friends to them than parents.
3) Openly speak to them regarding periods, all emotional and behavioral changes to them and reassure them that these are normal changes to happen and accept them with grace and understanding.
4) Engage the kids in other activities likes their hobbies and physical exercises to control adverse behavior.
5) Talk openly about sex to your children so that they know about self-care.
