At what age do girls develop breasts?

When girls or boys reach a certain age, they will enter a stage of development. Everyone is an independent individual, so some develop early and some develop late. Those who develop early don’t need to be anxious, and those who develop late don’t need to be anxious. So at what age do girls develop breasts? Generally speaking, it is around the age of ten, but in a few cases it is around the age of twelve. Regardless of whether the development is early or late, we must face it with a positive attitude and not have negative emotions. So at what age is development normal for girls?

With the development of economy, puberty is getting earlier and earlier. There are many factors that affect children's development, mainly race and genetics, but climate, nutrition, and disease also play a big role. Therefore, there are great individual differences in children's development. Generally speaking, girls start to develop at the age of 8 to 8.5 years old, and usually get their first period at the age of 11 to 18 years old. If they develop before this, it may be precocious puberty.

Girls' breast development usually begins when their nipples begin to grow, around the age of 9-10 years old. When the age of 10-11 years old, the breast hyperplasia forms a breast nucleus, which feels like a nodule or a small lump and is painful when pressed. At the age of 12-13, the mammary ducts and subcutaneous fat increase, the breasts gradually become firm and elastic, and the color of the areola and nipples becomes darker. The mature breast is blue and spherical in shape and is located between the 3rd to 6th ribs. The nipples have an erectile function and become hard when touched, which is conducive to breastfeeding.

The size of breast development is affected not only by hormones but also by genetic factors, environmental factors, nutritional conditions, weight, physical exercise and other factors. Medication is not recommended. Small breasts may also be related to the early or late development. In fact, as long as the reproductive organs and menstruation are normal, it will not affect the lactation function and fertility in adults. Generally speaking, the early or late development of breasts does not affect the speed of future development, nor does it affect the size and shape of breasts in adulthood, so there is no need to worry about small breasts due to late development.

Generally speaking, precocious puberty refers to girls showing signs of sexual development before the age of 8 and boys before the age of 9. Professor Wang said that more and more children are experiencing precocious puberty. On the one hand, it has a lot to do with diet. On the other hand, it is because health education has received more and more attention from parents in recent years. Some small changes in children cannot escape the "eagle eyes" of parents. If children with precocious puberty are not taken seriously and treated in time, their bones will close prematurely, which will affect their height and their future career and mate choices. In addition, children with precocious puberty are prone to behavioral abnormalities such as loneliness and attention diversion; because their physical and mental development is not synchronized, they are also prone to sexual abuse or sexual attacks on others.

No matter how old a girl is when her breasts develop, mothers should always pay attention to it, as developing breasts too early or too late is abnormal. If the mother finds any abnormal changes in the body of the adolescent girl during this process, she must send her to the hospital for treatment in time and not take it lightly. The physical development of adolescent girls is very critical because it affects various aspects of her future physical fitness. No matter what, you should face it with a happy attitude.
