9-year-old girl has breast pain

A nine-year-old girl may have her period, which may cause breast pain in the child. Generally speaking, this is a normal physiological phenomenon. After all, the child is relatively small at this time, and some reproductive systems such as the ovaries are not yet fully developed, and hormone secretion is not particularly good. This phenomenon may occur. For adolescent girls, it is necessary to strengthen breast care.

At what age is it appropriate for girls to wear underwear?

Generally, when girls reach the age of 16 to 18, their chest corridor and breasts are nearly mature. You can use a soft tape measure to measure from the upper bottom of the breast through the nipple to the lower bottom of the breast. If the upper and lower distance is greater than 16 cm, you should wear a bra. If you are under 16 years old and the distance between your chest and chest is less than 16cm, you should not wear a bra. Because wearing a bra too early is not only bad for the developing and arched breasts, but also affects the secretion of milk in the future.

However, if you don't wear a bra after your breasts are fully developed, it will also be detrimental to your breast development. Because healthy breasts require special protection, wearing a bra in time is the ideal and simple way. Wearing a bra can protect the breasts, support and highlight the breasts, facilitate blood circulation, and help the development of the breasts. It can reduce the swing of the breasts during walking, exercise and work, and prevent the breasts from sagging. It can promote the accumulation of fat in the breasts, making the breasts fuller, and can also compensate for the physiological defects of small breasts.

How to maintain breasts for adolescent girls

1. Cleaning the chest

Adolescent girls may experience breast swelling and pain, and nipple itching and pain before and after their menstrual period due to endocrine factors. At this time, girls must not squeeze their breasts or pick their nipples at will to avoid the formation of ruptures and infection. Clean your nipples, areolas, and breasts regularly. Because the areola has many glands that secrete oily substances, it can protect the skin, but it can also be contaminated with dirt, cause redness and swelling, etc., so keep the chest clean.

2. Choose and wear a bra

(1) When to wear a bra: When a girl reaches puberty, her breasts are basically fully developed and she should wear a bra in time. However, the time to wear a bra should be determined based on her body weight and breast size. Wearing a bra too early and too tightly will affect the normal development of the breasts. Generally, girls between the ages of 16 and 18 can wear a bra when the distance from the upper bottom of the chest through the nipple to the lower bottom of the chest is greater than 16 cm (measured with a tape measure).

(2) Choose a bra wisely: When choosing a bra, you should not only consider the style of the bra, but also the texture of the bra. Cotton bras have the advantages of soft texture, strong sweat absorption, no irritation to the skin, good permeability, etc. They are beneficial to protect the breasts and avoid abrasions on the skin. The type of bra you choose should be of appropriate size. If it is too large, it will not work, while if it is too small or too tight, it will cause certain harm to breast health. 3. Avoid abusing breast enhancement drugs

According to medical research, no breast enhancement drugs without any side effects have been found so far, so you must be very cautious when using these products. In some places, many doctors give oral or partial injections of estrogen drugs to adolescent women with underdeveloped breasts. A few people will experience some effects after using them, but when the medication is discontinued, the breasts will return to their original state. Most people have normal endocrine hormone levels, so the medication is not very effective and has varying degrees of side effects, such as menstrual disorders, irregular vaginal bleeding, edema, darkening of the nipples and areola, etc. Large doses or frequent use can also promote the growth of uterine fibroids and even induce endometrial cancer or breast cancer.
