7-month-old baby has period
Yuanyuan and her father
A seven-month-old baby in China is believed to be the youngest to have started
menstruation.
The baby - nicknamed Yuanyuan - from Changchun city in Jilin province, has
already had her period twice since last month.
Her family has blamed it to the milk powder the girl has been consuming since
her birth.
However, the authorities have already cleared the company, which was accused of
producing products causing early puberty in babies.
Yuanyuan's mother found traces of blood on July 8, and the condition lasted for
almost a week.
The baby's next 'period' came on Aug 13, and also lasted for about a week.
"At that time, the contaminated milk powder issue was widely discussed. So I
immediately stopped feeding her with the brand," said Yuanyuan's father.
He brought Yuanyuan to the hospital but doctors could not diagnose the actual
cause for her condition.
A medical report showed that the baby's was healthy, except that her estrogen
(sex hormone) level was slightly higher than a normal baby.
Yuanyuan's father said the medical check was conducted two weeks after they
stopped feeding the baby with the milk.
The Jilin Health Department has arranged for Yuanyuan to undergo another health
check at The First Hospital of Jilin University.
