What’s Happening to My Body?
One day your clothes fit perfectly. A few months later, things may feel different.
Puberty brings physical changes because your body is developing.
Breast Development
Breasts may begin developing during puberty. One breast may sometimes appear to develop differently or at a different pace from the other.
Bodies vary, and development happens gradually.
Body Hair
Hair may begin growing:
- Under your arms
- Around your pubic area
- More noticeably on other parts of your body
This is a normal part of puberty.
Growing Taller
You may experience a period of faster growth.
Your height, weight and body proportions can change as you develop.
Skin Changes
Hormonal changes can cause the skin to produce more oil. This can contribute to spots or acne.
A simple, gentle skincare routine can help you care for your skin.
Sweating and Body Odour
You may begin sweating more, particularly under your arms.
Regular bathing, clean clothing and appropriate personal-care products can help manage body odour.
Vaginal Discharge
You may begin noticing clear or whitish discharge in your underwear. This can be a normal part of puberty.
We’ll explain more about this in the next article.
