Patient's question:
Currently, I have entered puberty. Watching children of the same age begin to slowly develop, what are the secondary sexual characteristics of girls?Doctor's answer:
During the development of secondary sexual characteristics in girls, the breasts appear first. The beginning of breast development is the first sign of external physical changes in girls after entering puberty. Breast development is typically divided into five stages. The first stage is from birth to puberty, during which breast development does not begin. The second stage is called the budding stage. It is characterized by the elevation of the nipples, the formation of single, small, elevated bumps on the nipples and areolas, and the enlargement of the areolas. In the third stage, the breasts and areolas further expand, forming a clearly enlarged circular outline.
