age range for premenarchal
The mean ovarian volume in girls less than 6 years of age is less than or equal to 1 cm3. The increase in ovarian volume begins after 6 years of age (Table). In prepubertal girls (6–10 years old), ovarian volumes range from 1.2 to 2.3 cm3. In premenarchal girls (11–12 years old), ovarian volumes range from 2 to 4 cm3. In postmenarchal girls, the ovarian volume averages 8 cm3 (range, 2.5–20 cm3).

About a hundred years ago middle class American girls had their menarche on average at the age of 15.5 years old. Today, it is about at about 12.5 years. The goal of their hormone therapy is to simulate levels within the normal FOLLICULAR phase range for a woman. There is no health advantage in simulating a woman's menstral cycle and chemically inducing PMS-like symptoms. The goal should be a stable level within the target reference range. BY JENNIFER ENG-LUNT, M.D., HEATHER APPELBAUM, M.D., AND JAHN AVARELLO, M.D. Ovarian torsion is an infrequent diagnosis in the pediatric age group. The clinical picture is nonspecific, and children cannot always articulate their symptoms, which often makes the diagnosis a challenge. Adnexal torsion occurs primarily in the child-bearing age group, but it is not uncommon in premenarchal girls. According to Shalev et al. (1985), gonadal torsion is of particular concern in perimenarchal girls. The actual incidence of ovarian torsion in children is not well defined and varies in recent literature. The more you know about it the better off you will be. One thing that can be of enormous assistance in understanding what your doctors are talking about is to simply know what the normal reference ranges are for the various hormones often discussed when talking about HRT therapies.
