Growth and Development Indicators for Adolescence

Patient's question:

My daughter is ten years old. Recently, there have been white secretions in her underwear, odorless. What are the indicators of puberty development for comparison?

Doctor's answer:

The breasts are developing. If there is no sign of any issue, you can wait and see. Girls' breast development usually starts with the nipples growing, typically around the age of 9 to 10. Initially, there is breast hyperplasia, forming a small lump or hard knot that may cause pain when pressed. Alternatively, you can have a breast ultrasound to check the breast development. During the chest development period, it is best to wear loose-fitting underwear.
