Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My daughter is nearly 13 and has not started her periods yet. She is having usual signs that may indicate she will start very soon. We are going abroad for 2 weeks and I m worried they ll start whilst away. Is there any medication she could take making sure her holiday is not spoiled by the arrival of her first period?
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Better not to delay first cycle. Hormone pills are available for delaying menstrual bleeding. But hormonal imbalance is very common after such pills. So better to avoid such complications during her first menses. This will create more complications afterwards. So better to have first menses naturally . Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
