Breast development, early - Medical Definition

Breast development, early

Breast development, early: The beginning of breast development at puberty is known medically as thelarche. It is now a normal event at an earlier age (e.g., age 8) than in the past. The term thelarche comes from two Greek words: thele, nipple + arche, beginning. Thelarche is frequently (and incorrectly) written without the h as telarche.
