Also, their breasts are likely to change as they grow, and the development of tenderness and swelling can be normal during changes in the menstrual cycle. These normal changes can sometimes lead to anxiety for girls who are performing regular breast exams. Research also has not shown a benefit from breast self-exams in the diagnosis of breast cancer. Currently, we do not recommend routine breast self-exams for pediatric patients, and there are differing guidelines for the recommendations for adults.

Healthy adolescents do not need a pelvic exam until they are 21 years old. In the past, annual pelvic exams with pap smears were recommended for teenagers who were sexually active, but research has shown that this is not necessary. Pap smears look for evidence of human papilloma virus (HPV) infection, which can cause pre-cancerous and cancerous changes to the cervix. We've learned more and more about HPV in recent years, including that adolescents are much more likely to clear the HPV infection on their own, without need for medical intervention. Pap smears before age 21 are only recommended for very special cases, such as adolescents with HIV or immune deficiencies. Pelvic exams are not done as part of routine health care but may be necessary in certain situations: for example, if a sexually active adolescent has abdominal pain. When should girls be taught how to perform self-breast exams? Will her pediatrician talk with her about this?

Parent FAQs about girls & changing bodies: I've heard that girls are getting their periods at younger and younger ages. Is this true? Earlier puberty can be seen in children who were born very small as infants (called small for gestational age), and we don't fully understand why this happens. Obesity is also a risk factor for earlier puberty, in part because body fat is involved in how the body processes hormones like estrogen. It's much better for your daughter to be informed about her body early on in the process of puberty than to be surprised or even scared as these changes happen. It can also be helpful to have sanitary napkins available ahead of time and explain how to use them before her first period arrives.A New York story weighs love against material wealth.
