What Are The Side Effect Of Precocious Puberty?

I am 12 years old my medical history is not serious (no big things) and I have not had my period yet. I am very behind the rest of my class which has large chests and already got my periods. I am worried if I will be able to have children when I am older.

Hi,

I understand your concerns but there is nothing to worry about. You should expect your period soon. Usually girls have their periods at the age their mothers had it. So it might only be familial.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Salah Saad Shoman
