CSN-CommunityPost-Here are some facts about Early puberty and Late puberty

Early puberty:-

The study suggests that puberty is starting earlier now. The two types of early puberty are one in which medical attention may need. In the year 2010, 1,200 girls found that 10.4 percent of white non-Hispanic girls had started puberty at age 7, and 18.3 percent had begun at eight years, as identified by measuring breast development. The increase is notable compared with a related study in 1997. Typical signals of new change are the early appearance of body odor and pubic hair. Girls may observe rapid breast growth, but this is usually fatty tissue, and the development is non-progressive.

Most of these are changes in physical development and healthy growth. They are not considering a matter of concern, and no intervention is recommending. This early puberty is a combination of environment, individual factors (like weight), genetics.

On the other hand, Precocious puberty may symbolize underlying problems. Puberty may consider intelligent if it begins before nine years in boys and before 7 to 8 years in girls. Girls with increasing breast development over a 4- to the 6-month duration of observation, or boys with endless testicular and penis enlargement, and overall rapid growth, may need medical attention.

Therapies may be necessary to stop the effect of the hormones momentarily, mainly if the imbalance of hormones could cause difficulties later in life, such as lack of growth or weak bones.

 Late puberty:- 

If a boy's testicles have not developed at the age of 14 years or a girl has no signs of breast growth by the age of 14 years, or no menstrual period at 16 years, they should see a doctor. A blood test can expose any hormonal problems. An ultrasound scan or MRI can confirm whether the glands are working correctly or not.

Underlying late puberty results include eating disorders, like hormonal conditions, hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, and anorexia nervosa. Kidney disease, asthma, or Diabetes may lead to delayed puberty, and hereditary conditions such as androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) can affect it. AIS is the disease in which the body does not make use of some hormones.

Late puberty can generally be treated successfully, usually with the use of hormone medicines. Puberty can be a challenging stage of growth for young people, both mentally, emotionally, and physically. With the support of friends and family members is very important at this time.
