My 16-year-old hasn't got her period yet. Should I take her to a doctor?

Hi, I would suggest you to take your daughter to the gynecologist. My friend's daughter turned 17 this year and although she was healthy, had not started with her periods. My friend took her to the gynecologist and after the blood tests it was found that she had hormonal imbalance. Her testosterone level was on higher side. She was given progesterone for few days and also started with her periods soon after she finished the dose.

Yes please do take her to the doctor. Just to be on the safer side. These days I have friends who their kids start puberty at 9 or -10 years old. That's really early.

I think that's late already. The latest should be 13 years old. A gyno can answer that I believe.
