At what age does it count as normal for girls to begin puberty?
Disease description:
My child is only in the fifth grade of elementary school, yet she already appears quite tall and mature. However, I feel that children used to develop more slowly. I’d like to ask: At what age do girls typically begin puberty?

Hello, it is normal for girls to begin puberty at age 10. With improved living standards, many girls are experiencing earlier onset of puberty and earlier physical maturation. Typically, girls begin puberty around age 10, and menarche (first menstrual period) commonly occurs by age 13. During this developmental stage, girls should consume a nutrient-rich diet to support optimal physical growth and development. We hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
