A member asked:
Are there any tests to determine if a teen has gone through menarche (first period)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: This is usually obvious. Most girls will have their firs period within two years after the onset of breast development. If you are concerned that your child should have had menarche and has not, than tests looking at certain hormones, as well as a psychical exam can be done.
