Question
Patient Age: Three days ago, my daughter said she had breast pain after her bath. When I touched her left breast, it was slightly swollen compared to the right one, and it hurt when touched. We haven’t seen a doctor yet, and it hasn’t improved. I want to know if it’s early puberty, and what kind of help I can get for my daughter?
Answer
Hello, I suggest taking your daughter for a check-up because such a painful condition usually does not occur under normal circumstances. Guidance: Early puberty is a sexual development abnormality characterized by the early onset of sexual maturity. It refers to the appearance of secondary sexual characteristics before the age of sexual development, including breast development, pubic and armpit hair, rapid growth in height and weight, and development of external genitalia. The incidence of early puberty is about 0.6% in boys and girls, with more cases in females than in males.
