Patient's question:
Hello, I have a 15-year-old daughter. Recently, I noticed that her breasts seem to be starting to develop, so I want to learn more about the age and characteristics of girls' development.Doctor's answer:
The age of girls' development, generally speaking, is that when they enter the age of 12, after the appearance of the second sexual characteristic, they enter the stage of girls' development. However, in our current normal standards, they should have gradually entered the stage of puberty from the age of 9. Now, there are also cases where girls show some signs of puberty before the age of 9, such as breast enlargement, for example. If we define this, we say that if there are obvious secondary sexual characteristics before the age of 9, we can determine whether it is precocious puberty through some hormone tests. Under normal circumstances, we enter the stage of girls' puberty at the age of 12.
