Dr. Wang Shengqiang
Boys typically undergo puberty between the ages of 13 and 16. Generally, boys begin puberty later than girls, usually between ages 13 and 16. During this period, they experience rapid growth in height, development of the laryngeal prominence (Adam’s apple), and changes in breathing patterns. Significant changes also occur in the genital organs, such as the growth of pubic hair or testicular enlargement.
