Young girls should be advised to develop the regular exercise habit and to maintain it throughout life. Prepubertal athletes are more likely than their sedentary friends to experience menarcheal delay. Postmenarcheal athletes have increased susceptibility to oligomenorrhea and amenorrhea. Athletes with delayed puberty deserve examination and possibly further evaluation. Adolescent athletes with oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea deserve examination and hormonal evaluation. Hormonal replacement therapy is unnecessary prior to age 16, is optional between ages 16 and 18, and is recommended after age 18.
应建议年轻女孩养成定期锻炼的习惯，并终生保持。青春期前的运动员比久坐不动的朋友更有可能经历初潮延迟。月经初潮后的运动员患月经过少和闭经的易感性增加。青春期延迟的运动员值得检查，可能还需要进一步评估。患有月经过少或闭经的青春期运动员值得检查和进行激素评估。16岁之前无需进行激素替代疗法，16至18岁之间可选择使用，18岁之后建议使用。
