Physical changes of puberty in girls

Pubertyl onset

Puberty before age 8 is called premature puberty.  In most cases, the cause of early onset is unknown.

If no signs of puberty occur in a girl by the age of 16, it is called late or delayed puberty.

Remember that you must see a health care worker if you have puberty signs before the age of 8 or if you have no signs of puberty by the age of 16.
