- Precocious Puberty
Precocious puberty or central precocious puberty can be very confusing and truly unexpected. After all who know children could go into puberty too early? There is treatment for this condition. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Two different type of phenotype due to abnormal timing of the pubertal onset are described: advance of the pubertal onset also call central precocious puberty and delayed or absence of puberty. [endocrine-abstracts.org]

If a young girl has her first period before the age of 8 she likely has a condition known as precocious puberty. This is not normal and needs further medical attention. [pms.about.com]
- Underweight
Based on these definitions 4.2% were underweight (BMI 90th percentile). [eje.bioscientifica.com]
Nomograms are given for the prediction of these critical weights for height from a fatness index; these weights are useful clinically in the evaluation of nutritional amenorrhoea and the restoration of fertility in underweight women. [humrep.oxfordjournals.org]
Many girls who are underweight or undernourished will not get their periods. It is generally thought that a certain weight (around 100 pounds) must be attained in order for your brain to send signals to your body to start menstruating. [epigee.org]

Gastrointestinal
- Nausea
It can cause nausea, vomiting or diarrhea in some women, as well as headaches or general discomfort. Women who have heavier periods often have more intense pain too. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Some also notice nausea, diarrhea, irritability, headaches, and fatigue, among other symptoms. To ease cramping, try applying heat to your abdomen with a heating pad or hot water bottle. Taking a warm bath may also help. [webmd.com]
The symptoms of the classical form of childhood CD are malabsorption related and include chronic diarrhea, steatorrhea, abdominal distension, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, anemia and growth retardation. [humupd.oxfordjournals.org]
- Abdominal Pain
Abstract An eleven year-old girl presented with right lower quadrant abdominal pain near menarche that coincided with the onset of her most recent menstrual period. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Skin
- No Pubic Hair
METHODS: Demographic characteristics, age at menarche and menstrual duration, anthropometry (weight, height, BMI) and pubertal status (breast and pubic hair) were evaluated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The first event is most often breast formation in 80%, but pubic and axillary hair growth is first in 20%. Breast development may continue until age 18 years and pubic hair grows until age 17 years. Menarche is a late feature of female puberty. [gpnotebook.co.uk]
The appearance of pubic hair is commonly next. [pamf.org]
The median ages at breast stages 2 through 5 are 9.65, 10.10, 11.75, and 14.17 years, respectively, and at pubic-hair stages 2 through 5 are 10.09, 11.19, 12.33, and 14.68 years, respectively. [doi.org]
- Hirsutism
The Ferriman-Gallwey score was applied to evaluate hirsutism. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The earliest symptoms of PCOD, like hirsutism (facial hair) and hyperpigmentation could be emotionally scarring for a teenager," he adds. [timesofindia.indiatimes.com]
Psychiatrical
- Fear
Confirmatory factor analysis was used to fit four latent disorder categories: distress, eating, and externalizing, and fear disorders. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Some feel full of fear and overwhelmed. Some struggle with mood swings, cramps, and bloating. Others cannot understand what all the fuss is about. Your daughter will handle her first time so much better if you have prepared her. [web.archive.org]
The attitudes of societies toward menarche vary from delight and pride to fear and shame. Positive labels signify that the girl is an adult, capable of contributing to the ongoing society. [encyclopedia.com]
Neurologic
- Confusion
Precocious puberty or central precocious puberty can be very confusing and truly unexpected. After all who know children could go into puberty too early? There is treatment for this condition. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It is important to exclude a local labial or vaginal cause for the bleeding, and there is often confusion about whether this is related to sexual abuse. [health.am]
Since our children are not educated about sex in the right way, the added confusion and tension over sexual feelings would further cause hormonal surges," he explains. #ElectionsWithTimes [timesofindia.indiatimes.com]
Like many other changes associated with puberty, it can be confusing. Many girls experience fear and anxiety related to their first menstrual cycle, largely because of misinformation or, more frequently, lack of information. [wol.jw.org]
- Headache
It can cause nausea, vomiting or diarrhea in some women, as well as headaches or general discomfort. Women who have heavier periods often have more intense pain too. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Other signs of menarche include a slight headache, leg ache or backache for a few hours. The most common symptom of menarche, is cramping. You may feel abdominal cramping, similar to a stomachache for the first few days of your period. [epigee.org]

Urogenital
- Amenorrhea
However, these regimens result in delayed secondary sex characteristics and failure of ovarian function recovery, leading to amenorrhea and infertility. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
‘age at menarche varies considerably between populations’ ‘Most women with the syndrome experience menarche at a normal age but have irregular menstrual periods that gradually become more abnormal, often leading to amenorrhea.’ [en.oxforddictionaries.com]
When menarche has failed to occur for more than 3 years after thelarche, or beyond 16 years of age, the delay is referred to as primary amenorrhea. Menopaussi on menarken vastakohta. Menopause is the opposite of menarche. [fi.glosbe.com]

- Dysmenorrhea
Menstrual cycle Causes and risk factors Doctors distinguish between two types of period pain, called primary and secondary dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea is where the period pain is caused by the womb muscle contractions alone. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Primary dysmenorrhea (the clinical word for painful periods) is pain caused by the period itself. Secondary dysmenorrhea is period pain with another root cause, such as a health condition like endometriosis. [helloclue.com]
This means, with declining age at menarche, there is increased morbidity due to dysmenorrhea, with more disruptions in the daily activities of post-pubescent females. [journals.plos.org]
- Vaginal Discharge
Other early signs of puberty are body odor and vaginal discharge. Again, these early changes can occur a year or more before the appearance of secondary sex characteristics (i.e., breast development and pubic hair). [pamf.org]
Between six months to a year before menarche, you may experience white vaginal discharge that turns yellow upon contact with underwear. [soc.ucsb.edu]
Clinically, vulvar and vaginal complaints such as vulvovaginitis are common among premenarcheal girls and are often ascribed to poor hygiene or physiologic leukorrhea (vaginal discharge due to estrogen stimulation) ( 16 – 18 ). [mbio.asm.org]
- Irregular Menstruation
In addition, a child who has irregular menstruation that continues into adulthood develops polycystic ovarian disorder (PCOD) due to imbalance in hormones, which often leads to problems conceiving a child. [timesofindia.indiatimes.com]
As a result, irregular menstruation, reduced fertility and/or adverse pregnancy outcomes may be the initial clinical feature that ultimately results in a diagnosis of CD. [humupd.oxfordjournals.org]
Treatment
During treatment with hydrocortisone, breasts progressed from Tanner stage one to three within 6 months and menarche occurred after 10 months. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Recent advances have improved our understanding of the neuroendocrine, genetic and environmental factors controlling pubertal development, and hence inform the pathophysiology of delayed puberty. [doi.org]
The pathophysiology is largely unknown. Iatrogenic - hormones used for contraception or hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or management of other conditions. [patient.info]
Therefore, it is likely that increased apoptosis of EVT may contribute to the pathophysiology of human miscarriage and IUGR ( Hadziselimovic et al., 2007 ; Minas et al., 2007 ), which are characteristic placental-related complications, found at higher [humupd.oxfordjournals.org]
