Question

I have recently noticed that my breast has started to slightly bulge. Does this indicate early puberty? Do I need to go to the hospital for treatment?

Answer

Hello, if an eight-year-old child experiences breast swelling, accompanied by lumps and tenderness, it is usually a normal developmental phenomenon, and attention should be paid to daily care. How is your child’s height development? It is important to ensure balanced nutrition intake. If there is growth in height, there is no need to be overly concerned; otherwise, it may require medication control. Girls may undergo early development before the onset of menstruation. If such conditions occur, it is recommended to go to the hospital for breast ultrasound examination and blood hormone testing to rule out other possibilities.
