Female breast development chart

After women enter puberty, the anterior pituitary gland in the brain begins to secrete gonadotropin, which promotes the uterus and ovaries to grow slowly. The ovaries begin to secrete estrogen, which promotes the breasts to grow. Girls begin to become more and more masculine. This is a normal development state, but some women will have breasts that begin to grow before the age of 18. So what is the reason for premature breast development?

What is called premature breast development?

When a woman's breasts develop before the age of 8, but are not accompanied by other secondary sexual characteristics, such as armpit hair, pubic hair, and menarche, it is called premature breast development.

What causes premature breast development?

Most of the vegetables, fruits and poultry we eat every day contain a lot of growth hormone. Long-term consumption of these foods, some estrogen indirectly enters the body, which will cause premature breast development. Some parents often give their children some health products that have nourishing and health-preserving effects. Many of these products contain growth hormone ingredients. Long-term use will cause an increase in the female hormone level in the child's blood, leading to premature breast development.

Does early breast development mean early puberty?

Early breast development does not necessarily mean precocious puberty. Women's breasts are enlarged, mostly unilateral and idiopathic, while other sexual characteristics of the body appear according to normal rules. This condition may be caused by the temporary secretion of small amounts of estrogen by the uterus and ovaries. This condition belongs to pseudo-precocious puberty, which is different from pathological precocious puberty and breast fat thickness caused by obesity.

How to distinguish early breast development from precocious puberty

The main manifestations of premature breast development are that the size of sex hormones is consistent with age, but secondary sexual characteristics develop early. In addition to premature breast development, women will also show changes in the dependence of vaginal mucosal cells on estrogen, enlarged uterus and ovaries, the appearance of pubic hair, and menarche in girls; while men will show thickening of the testicles and penis, the appearance of pubic hair, firmness, and wider voice. Both men and women will experience accelerated growth and development, and accelerated bone maturation.

How to prevent premature breast development
