No: There is a sequence of events that begin to prepare the involved structures involved.Estrogen production will cause nipple enlargement as a first visible sign, followed in 1-3 years by years by first menses. Girls often have mucous staining their underwear for up to 6m before they start.Any bleeding before the initial signs of puberty is worrisome of an injury to tissues in that area.
