Doctor's answer:

Growth and development are interfered with by various factors such as intergenerational inheritance, race, light, nutrition, geographical location, and living conditions. For example, people living in tropical regions tend to enter puberty earlier. Indian writer Rabindranath Tagore wrote in his book The Boat that a 10-year-old girl had not yet found a husband and was already considered an unwed girl. People living in temperate regions tend to enter puberty later. Soviet women in Siberia generally do not have their first menstrual period until around 18 years old. Therefore, slight earliness or delay in the timing of puberty growth and development does not need to be a cause for concern, as it is considered normal physiological variation.
Medical Advice: Regarding the age of sexual and physical development maturity, the ancient Chinese medical classic Huangdi Neijing (Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon) has long documented it: "For men... at the age of 16, kidney qi is strong, sperm is abundant, and the Yin-Yang balance is achieved, so they can have children." It also states, "For women... at the age of 14, Tian Gui arrives, the Ren meridian is open, the Tai Chong meridian is strong, and menstruation occurs regularly." This clearly indicates that men begin to emit sperm at the age of 16 and are capable of reproduction. Women typically experience their first menstrual period around the age of 14. Due to the decline in material and spiritual living standards, modern people's sexual maturity has advanced by two years compared to ancient times, with males reaching sexual maturity around the age of 14 and females experiencing their first menstrual period around the age of 12. However, early sexual development before the appropriate age warrants attention. For instance, if a girl is under 8 years old and shows breast development, the growth of pubic hair, and experiences menstruation; or if a boy has rapidly growing testicles and adult-like external genitalia before the age of 10, this phenomenon is medically referred to as precocious puberty.
