Patient's question:
This week, I noticed that my daughter's breasts have become slightly swollen, as if she is developing.What kind of help I want: I want to take her to see a doctor, but I don't know which department to go to.
Doctor's answer:
This can be seen in pediatrics, gynecology, or internal medicine. Besides going to the hospital, parents also need to learn many common sense things and not take the normal for the abnormal. For women, menstruation usually starts between the ages of 11 and 18, which is a normal phenomenon. Menstruation is not a sign of weakness; it is a result of gradual growth and development leading to sexual maturity. Breast development at the age of nine is normal, as long as menstruation has not occurred in the past two years, which is also normal.
