    Question

    My daughter is 13. Her first period was at 10, and she has been irregular. Is this is normal?

    Answer

    Some people are actually irregular their whole lives. However, it is worth a conversation with your pediatrician or family doctor who can take a history, consider her weight and other conditions that might be influencing the periods.
