Breast Development Joy and Issues

It is always an exciting time that comes with worries for a teenager to see her breast growing. Worries in the sense that you will be wondering, what people will say and how big the breast will finally look like. To the extent that some teenagers put on several cloths to make sure that the breast did not show as soon as it came out but that is for a short time.

In every life, there is a time of puberty and in this time, the development of tender breasts occurs. So breast development can be said to be the first sign of puberty in a girl and young woman. You may have a teenager or young woman that develops breast at her early age i.e. 7-8yrs and some that develop at the age of 13 and there about. The age does not matter because it all depends on the biological trait which informs a teenager’s or young woman’s body to produce some high level of female hormones. Breast sizes vary among females, some are big while some are small and the shape too, no matter the sizes or shapes they are all normal and healthy.

The breast undergoes 5 stages of growth within 5 to 6 years and reaches full maturity at the age of 17 to 18 years. There is no muscle tissue in the breast that is why no amount of exercise makes it bigger or smaller. The breast is made up of fat and connective tissue, milk glands and ducts. In a young woman and teenager, the breast tissue is dense and firm, and then becomes softer and fatty with age.

It is normal of a teenager and young woman to develop or have breast since a woman’s breast produces milk for her baby and often breast is viewed as a symbol of sexual attractiveness and femininity.
