​Precautions for breast development in little girls

Girls have to pay attention to many things when they are young, so that when there are abnormalities in various aspects of themselves, they will know what to do without any harm to their own health. So what are the precautions for breast development in little girls? There are many aspects, and these aspects are related to the girls' future physical development. The following is a detailed introduction.

Things to note about breast development in little girls:

When girls enter puberty, the first parts of their bodies to develop are their breasts. Under the influence of estrogen in the body, girls' breasts begin to develop. At this time, in addition to the continuous development of many slender mammary ducts, a lot of fat accumulates in the breasts. Because the mammary tissue is harder and the fat tissue is softer, the breasts gradually bulge and become elastic, becoming a sign of female maturity. However, breast development conditions, such as breast size, symmetry, early or late development, and abnormal development, have become a source of worry for girls during their youth.

There is great individual variation in breast development in girls. Some girls begin to develop breasts when they are only 8 or 9 years old, while some girls do not begin to develop breasts until they are 16 years old or older. Most girls begin to develop breasts before their first menstrual period, around 9 to 14 years old. When the breasts are just beginning to develop, the mammary glands that make up the breasts and the surrounding fat tissue form a small, button-like bulge over the nipple and the areola that surrounds it, causing the nipple and areola to bulge and the nipple to begin to grow larger. The nipple then becomes more prominent, gradually becomes fuller, and finally develops into the shape of an adult breast. The rate at which breasts develop also varies from person to person. Some girls start developing breasts later but develop faster, while some girls develop breasts earlier but develop more slowly.

Girls whose breasts develop early are often embarrassed about it and try to hide the protrusion of their chests by lowering their heads and hunching their chests when walking, or wearing tight clothes to bind their chests, which restricts the normal development of the breasts and thorax. Breast binding will compress the breasts and nipples, causing breast hypoplasia, which will cause difficulties in lactation and breastfeeding in the future and can also easily cause breast diseases. In fact, girls who develop breasts early and have larger breasts are also affected by many factors. Some girls are fatter, so their breasts appear fuller, while some develop larger breasts due to genetic factors, nutritional conditions, climate, etc. However, breast development usually stops after a certain age. Large breasts do not have any adverse effects on the body, nor do they reflect a person's ideology, morality, and consciousness, so there is no need to worry about breast development.

Some girls are also worried and uneasy because their breasts have not started to develop or are small. More sensitive girls may easily find that their breasts are not as full as those of some of their peers in public bathrooms or during group activities. They may doubt whether their breast development is normal, and may also worry about whether it will affect their fertility in the future.

The size of breast development is affected not only by hormones but also by genetics, environmental factors, nutritional conditions, weight, physical exercise and many other factors. Small breasts may also be related to the early or late development. In fact, as long as the development of reproductive organs and menstruation are normal, it will not affect the breastfeeding function and fertility in adulthood. Generally speaking, the early or late start of breast development does not affect the speed of future development, nor does it affect the size and shape of the breasts in adulthood, so there is no need to worry about late development or small breasts. Of course, if the breasts have not started to develop for a long time after menarche, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a check-up and ask the doctor to diagnose whether it is physiological or pathological so that countermeasures can be taken.

A woman's breasts are not necessarily exactly equal, they can only be of similar size. Some girls' breasts may develop unbalancedly during the development process, with one side being slightly larger and the other slightly smaller, or one side being slightly higher and the other slightly lower. In terms of physiological development, the left and right breasts respond differently to estrogen, so the breast with more active glandular proliferation appears larger. The phenomenon of inconsistent breast size has no effect on future fertility and sexual function, nor does it have any adverse effects on physical health. Especially during adolescence, it is normal for one breast to develop faster than the other, and when they mature, the two breasts will be the same size. Adult girls may also notice that their breasts are different sizes, but the difference is not so dramatic that it is often unnoticeable to anyone except themselves. However, after adulthood, if the size of the two breasts is particularly different, you should go to the hospital for examination.

After understanding the precautions for breast development in little girls, girls should not be too shy when such changes occur in their bodies, and should treat them normally. At the same time, they can consult if they don’t understand something, so that they can have some understanding of the specific circumstances of their own changes and know what to do when they feel uncomfortable.
