Brief Answer:
Not possible to delay the puberty by medical means.Its a natural developme

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I understand your concerns genuinely. But unfortunately it is a normal physiological phenomenon which you cannot delay. It might be difficult to explain to a girl of this age, but still you will have to make your daughter conversant with the changes that are going to come and also the responsibilities they impart on her part. A Family Life Educator could help you. Alternatively you can talk to your pediatrician so that he/she would be able to guide you or your daughther in a better way in this regard.

Hope that helps.

Sir,

Thanks a lot for making me understand. But one of my friend told me that there is some medicine available in HOMEOPATHY. Can you suggest?

Thanking you.

Brief Answer:
I am not aware of homeopathic medicines that could delay menarche.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back.

I am not aware of homeopathic medicines and do not know their mode of action since I do not belong to that stream of medicine. But I doubt whether it would be good to try and manipulate with such a natural/physiological event of life. A lot of things related to subsequent well being depend on this event. So, in case you consult a homeopathic doctor for the same, make sure that it is safe to play with the normal physiology of the body.

Hope that helps.

In case you found my answer to be helpful, please close the thread with a positive review and a 5 star rating.
