Answer by Dr Smitha M, MD (doctor) on Thu 24, Jul 2008 06:27am:

Hi, Age of onset of puberty varies with individual physical development and lifestyle. 9 years is not too early an age for onset of menarche as the age of menarche has been falling every decade. Racial factors also play an important role in the age of onset of menarche. Is your daughter on any medication for treatment of ADHD and the enuresis? Is she in the appropriate height-and-weight range for her age group? You will need to provide details about any other medications she is on so that we can assess whether the alteration from normal menstrual bleeding is attributable to a side effect. The decision regarding OCPs will also be related to these details. You can start her on supplements of gamma linoleic oil (evening primrose oil) and fish liver oil to provide the basic essential amino and omega-3 fatty acids required for normal development. Regards
