A member asked:

What do the stages of puberty signify?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Transition: There are 5 tanner stages: stage 1 is when the body is pre-pubertal. Stage 5 is when breast development in girls, pubic hair span and testicular volume in boys reach what would be seen in adults. The stages in between are about the transitions of pubertal development.
