Hi,
Welcome to Hcm,
Menstruation is a phase of development in a child. 9yr is too early age to start menstrual cycle. In different phases of sexual development breast development happens first and last is menstruation. So do not worry, she will develop menstruation much later and I would never suggest you to start any medicine for preventing it. Its a nature made process. Any attempt to alter it might lead to unwanted problems and we dont want that. Your daughter is going to do great . take care.
