Introduction
The normal ovarian volume range for a 7-year-old girl is 2.5–3 cubic centimeters. In female infants, ovarian volume is less than 0.7 cubic centimeters at birth. Follicular development can be observed by 6 months of age, with follicle diameters generally under 6 millimeters, and typically remain relatively unchanged before the age of 6. At age 7, girls usually have follicles measuring 5 to 10 millimeters in diameter, with ovarian volume generally ranging from 2.5 to 3 cubic centimeters.

At birth, a female infant's ovaries are typically smaller than 0.7 cubic centimeters. Follicular development can be observed by 6 months of age, with follicle diameters generally less than 6 millimeters. There is usually little change before the age of 6. At age 7, the follicle diameter typically ranges from 5 to 10 millimeters, and ovarian volume is generally around 2.5–3 cubic centimeters. If a 7-year-old girl has relatively small ovaries, this is considered a normal physiological phenomenon, indicating that the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis has not yet fully developed; treatment is usually not required. However, if the ovaries become enlarged, it may indicate the presence of cysts. Since 7-year-old girls are still young and have not entered puberty, their ovaries are typically undeveloped. In cases of ovarian cysts, it is important to take the child to the hospital promptly and follow medical advice for treatment with medications such as Hongjin Xiaojie Tablets or Guizhi Fuling Capsules.
It is recommended that girls engage in appropriate physical activity regularly to promote metabolism and blood circulation, achieving balanced nutrition. Their diet should include reduced intake of fats and sugars, while increasing intake of vitamin E, vitamin D, calcium, and other nutrients, which can help regulate immune function.
