What changes occur in a woman's body during puberty?

Compared with men, women undergo much greater changes during puberty, especially physical changes are more obvious. However, because women who have just started to develop are more shy, they dare not communicate with their mothers about whether their physical development is normal. In fact, this phenomenon is not a good thing. You must know that only by understanding the changes in women's bodies during puberty can you better know whether your physical development is healthy. To this end, this article analyzes the changes that occur in female bodies during puberty.

Girls' puberty refers to the period from the onset of menstruation to the gradual development and maturation of reproductive organs. The first group of people to start menstruation is between 12 and 18 years old. The physiological characteristics of this period are rapid development of the body and reproductive organs, the formation of secondary signs, and the onset of menstruation.

1. Menstruation

The onset of menstruation is an important sign of the onset of puberty. Because the ovarian function is not yet complete, the menstrual cycle after menarche has no definite regularity and needs to be gradually adjusted to be close to normal.

2. Development of reproductive organs

With the development of ovaries and the gradual increase in sex hormone secretion, various parts of the genitals also have obvious changes, which are called primary sexual characteristics. The external genitalia changes from juvenile to adult type, the mons pubis bulges, the labia majora become thickened, the labia minora become larger and pigmented, the length and width of the vagina increase, the vaginal membrane becomes thicker and wrinkled; the uterus enlarges, especially the uterine body, which accounts for 2/3 of the total length of the uterus; the fallopian tubes become thicker and the curvature decreases; the ovaries enlarge, and the cortex contains follicles at different stages of development, making the surface slightly uneven.

(III) Secondary Sexual Characteristics

It refers to the symptoms unique to girls other than the reproductive organs. At this time, the girl's voice becomes higher, her breasts become fuller and more raised, pus and pubic hair appear, the transverse diameter of the pelvis develops greater than the anterior-posterior diameter, and there is more subcutaneous fat on the chest and shoulders, showing the girl's unique body shape.

4. Systemic development

With the onset of puberty, the body grows rapidly and gradually transitions to maturity.

There are great physiological changes during adolescence. It is important to understand and recognize the changes during this critical period. For example, delayed development during puberty should be taken seriously so as not to affect future fertility.

The above is an analysis of the changes in the female body during puberty. For women who are in the developmental period, there are great changes both physically and psychologically. When women have their first menstruation, they are already capable of reproduction. Therefore, I hope that parents and friends can pay attention to popularizing gender knowledge to their children, so that children will not be so curious and confused about sex. This is very helpful for the growth of children.
