HELLO THERE.

THE FINIDNGS OF YOUR DAUGHTER'S ULTRASOUND ARE NORMAL CONSIDERING THE TIME WHEN SHE HAD HER ULTRASOUND. IMMEDIATELY AFTER PERIODS ALL THE UTERINE LINING (ENDOMETRIAL TISSUE) SHEDS OFF IN MENSES AND SO THE THICKNESS IS REDUCED LIKE IN YOUR DAUGHTER.

ALSO IT IS ONLY FEW YEARS THAT YOUR DAUGHTER HAS STARTED MENSES. DURING THE INITIAL 2-3 YEARS OF MENSES, IRREGULARITIES ARE COMMON AS THE CYCLES ARE ANOVULATORY (NO EGG RELEASE). WITH AGE THE CYCLES GET REGULAR.

FOR THE CRAMPS AND PAIN SHE HAS DURING PERIODS, SHE CAN USE ANTISPASMODICS LIKE MEFTAL SPAS DURING PERIODS.

TAKE CARE.
