Question: My Neice just got her period and she is so young! How could menses start at 9YO!?!?!?
Answers:
yes a normal time to start her period, but other than genetics there are a couple factors!. Most importantly that if a girl is overweight it will trigger an early period!.

Some knuckle head said she thought is was because of GH in cow's milk, but that is just alarmist and unfounded!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

This isn't really all that uncommon!.

You hear about kings/sultans/whathaveyou marrying very young girls!. Well, they were at an age to be married because they had started menstruating!. Nine is young to start menstruating, but it's definitely not unheard of!.

Menses starts at nine just like it does at any other age: through hormones!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

These days, that's not really all that unusual!. Over the past several decades, the age at which women (girls) start menstruating has gradually lowered!. It used to be that 12 or 13 was about the average age!. Now it's more like 10!. The concern a lot of people have is, how young is too young!. But there's not much anyone can do about it and as I said, that's pretty normal these days!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

please dont make her feel abnormal!. her friends will do that!. 9-16 is completely healthy!. not common maybe, but normal!. my 9yo sister came home laughin @ a girl in her class who got it , actin so mean and sayin things like 'she didnt even have a pad on ! she just sat there!" help sort out ur niece so her friends dont have to know and she knows what to do!. she will definitely need support and even more advice about boys!. basically DONT LET THEM TOUCH U!.!!! lol seriously!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
