When to Seek Medical Care

Consult a health care provider if a girl is 14 years old and her secondary sexual characteristics (for example, breast development and pubic hair) have not started to develop or a girl is 16 years old and has not had her first menstrual period.
 
For women who have already begun menstruating, they should see a health care provider if they have missed 3 consecutive menstrual periods.
