Question
Please ask the doctor: 9-year-old girls who have their periods have early puberty? Or is that normal? Do I need to have my child examined for precocious puberty in girls? Thank you doctor.

Hello friends,
Precocious puberty in girls is defined as puberty onset before age 8, menstruation before 9.5 years old. Early puberty in girls includes breast development, pubic hair growth, armpit hair, menstruation...
If a 9-year-old child starts menstruating, puberty may be earlier, so it's good. The best thing to do is take your child to a pediatric endocrinologist to determine for sure if he or she has precocious puberty.
If you still have questions, you can contact the hospitals of Vinmec Health System for advice by qualified doctors. Thank you for trusting Vinmec to send the question of a 9-year-old girl having her period if she has precocious puberty.
