What is the cause of breast development in an 11-year-old girl?

Nowadays, many girls around us have developed breasts at the age of eleven. Is this a disease? Many parents feel panic and don’t know how to solve the problem. They take their children to see many doctors, but the doctors only have one answer: everything is normal. Why is this? It is better to take a look at the scientific explanation below. I believe that parents who don’t understand and seek medical treatment everywhere will know the answer. But in general, this is actually a characteristic of girls' growth. If we have to say it, it can only be said to be early development and cannot be classified as a disease.

In fact, breast development begins between the ages of 8 and 12. Initially, the mammary glands that make up the breasts and the surrounding protective fat tissue form a button-like bulge in the breasts and the surrounding areola (breast bud stage). After that, the nipples begin to grow larger, the areola gradually expands, and the color of the breasts and areola gradually deepens. Around the age of 14 to 15, breast development becomes more obvious and the breasts become noticeably raised. At the age of 16 or 17, the breasts are full, with clear lines, slightly sunken areola, and large and prominent nipples. At around the age of 18 or 20, the size and shape of the breasts are that of an adult woman (breast stage). However, the girl's breasts cannot secrete milk at this time, and it will take until she gives birth.

Breast development in girls marks the beginning of the development of female secondary sexual characteristics and is also a signal of the onset of puberty. Under the action of sex hormones, the breasts of girls aged 9 to 11 begin to develop. First, the nipples protrude and feel like a small lump, with some swelling and pain. Later, the breasts gradually swell and the light brown areola around the nipples gradually deepens in color and increases in size. Later, the nipples become large and protruding, and the breasts become fuller. Due to the influence of many factors such as genetics, environment, nutrition, and physique, the age at which girls enter puberty varies greatly from person to person. Generally speaking, breast enlargement from the age of 8 to 14 is normal. If breasts have not developed after the age of 16, you should go to the hospital to check the cause.

After understanding this, parents don't have to panic about the development of breasts in eleven-year-old girls. In this matter, they should be prepared to prevent the child from the situation mentioned above. It is still very necessary to prepare early, but there is still no need to be too nervous. Early development is actually a blessing for girls' future fertility. They have better ability to nurture the next generation and give birth to fat grandchildren to continue the family.
