A seven and a half year old girl has a lump in her breast

The development of girls' breasts starts with the nipples. Generally, girls' nipples will start to develop around the age of ten. During the development process, girls often feel breast pain and lumps when touched. This is a normal phenomenon in the development process. But some girls have lumps in their breasts when they are seven and a half years old, and they need to go to the hospital for examination. So, what should a seven and a half year old girl do if she has lumps in her breast?

Normally, a girl's breast development starts from the position of the nipple. Is breast development normal for a seven-year-old girl? The age is generally around 9-10 years old. When the child is 10-11 years old, breast hyperplasia begins and breast nucleus is gradually formed. When you touch it, you will find a nodule or a small lump, which will be painful when pressed.

By the age of 12-13, the mammary ducts and subcutaneous fat will slowly increase. The breasts will gradually swell and become elastic. At this time, the color of the areola and nipples will slowly become darker. A fully developed breast is shaped like a blue ball and is usually between the 3rd and 6th ribs. It should be noted that female nipples have erectile function and will become hard when touched by hands, which is conducive to breastfeeding.

There are many things to pay attention to when girls' breasts are developing. First of all, when there are abnormalities in breast development, such as poor development, excessive size, uneven size or no development, be sure to go to a regular hospital for medical treatment in time. Secondly, girls should pay attention to keeping their breasts clean and not squeeze their breasts or nipples at will, because the skin tissue in these areas is relatively fragile and may occasionally cause breast inflammation. Furthermore, is it normal for a ten-year-old girl to have breast development? When the breasts begin to develop, she must wear underwear that fits her and must not bind her chest.

Finally, usually, when a girl is about fifteen years old, her breasts have basically taken shape. At this time, girls need to wear bras, otherwise it will cause breast deformation.
