What is the reason for breast tenderness in an 8-year-old girl?

Patient's question:

A child under 7 years old experiencing breast development is considered precocious puberty. The nipple of the left breast is inverted.

Doctor's answer:

Hello! I'm glad to help you. According to your description, your child's breast pain may be a sign of precocious puberty. I suggest taking your child to the hospital to test their sex hormones. Additionally, avoid giving your child fried or puffed snacks, as the short-term increase in estrogen levels may be the cause. It will improve over time, and there is no need for medication. Some girls develop early, which is known as precocious puberty, and it's perfectly normal—don't worry.
