Question
This week, I noticed that my daughter’s chest has started to swell, as if it’s beginning to develop. I want to take her to see a doctor, but I’m not sure which department.
Answer
You can visit the pediatric department, gynecology, or internal medicine. Besides going to the hospital, parents also need to learn a lot of common sense and not consider normal things as abnormalities. Girls typically start menstruating between the ages of 11 and 18, which is a normal phenomenon. Menstruation does not come suddenly; it is triggered by the gradual growth and development leading up to sexual maturity. Breast development at the age of nine is a normal occurrence, and it’s normal if menstruation hasn’t started within two years.
