A member asked:
Does life expectancy decrease if you have a period at 8yo?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: I am not aware of any link to life expectancy with menses starting at 8 years of age. This normal in those that do this. For obvious reasons, there should not be any other pre-adult like characteristics in these children. If so, a health exam is mandated.
