How old are little boys usually when they develop normally?

Patient's question:

My son is exactly ten years old this year. Now I've noticed a few pubic hairs on his testicles. I'd like to ask, at what age is it normal for boys to start developing?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, boys generally begin to develop around the age of 12-13. The onset of secondary sexual characteristics in boys is later than in girls. During this period, it is important to maintain a balanced diet, reasonable nutrition, appropriate exercise, and develop good lifestyle habits. Eat more protein and vitamin-rich foods. Every child's development has individual differences, as long as it is within the normal range, it is fine.
