What is early development?

Patient's question:

I've always heard about early development, but what exactly is early development? What is the special condition of early development in daughters?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, breast development begins in women around the age of 10, marking the first sign of puberty. At the same time, the growth of axillary and pubic hair occurs. Height increases rapidly, with an average growth of about 10 cm, reaching its peak before the epiphyses fuse and growth stops. Under the influence of estrogen, women during puberty accumulate more fat in areas such as the hips, breasts, waist, and lower abdomen, forming a fuller female physique. By the time of maturity, women's fat weight is twice that of men. The onset age and developmental process of puberty are often influenced by genetic factors, nutritional status, and the endocrine system.
