Fat girls may have large breasts, but this is only the effect of fat accumulation. Pressing down with your hand is soft and will not result in hard nodules. Girls' nipples become larger, their areolas become wider, and their areolas become darker in color. Over time, their breasts grow rapidly, and parents should take it seriously. Children may experience premature puberty.
2. Due to differences in physical constitution, girls with normal development also have differences in the timing of menstruation, but generally do not experience menstruation before the age of 10. When washing girls' underwear, if excessive or bloody secretions are found in the underwear, the girl will experience symptoms of menstruation.
