Are my irregular periods a problem?!
Question: Are my irregular periods a problem!?
I am 16, 102 lbs, 5' 2", and I just got my period yesterday for the first time in 10 1/2 months!.
I got my first period about a month after I turned 13!. Since then, I think I've only had 7 periods!. Prior to the 10 1/2 month span, there had been an 8 month span between my period!.
I hadn't really worried about it because irregular periods were supposed to be normal for the first few years but I'm beginning to wonder how many years is a few!? I've been considering visiting an OB/GYN but I don't want to if it would be unnecessary!.
Is it something I should have looked into or something I should leave be!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
I am 52, and girls did not get their period until they were 16 or 17!. First, see the doctor and make sure you are healthy!. He may put you on a mild birth control pill, but be careful, it may make you have facial hair!. Your hormones are still trying to balance so take a good daily vitamin for women!. I see by your weight and height that you do not eat much!. apples, banana's and grapes for snacks and proteins for lunch or supper!. Have a great life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
every female should start going to an OB/GYN before they are 16, also, if you are athletic, they will be very few in between!.(periods)Www@Answer-Health@Com
