A member asked:
Is bo a sign of puberty in preteens?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: The odor glands are influenced by hormones made in the adrenal glands and may become active months to years before the onset of puberty. Although they often happen in parallel, the true awakening of puberty is signaled by nipple enlargement in girls and increased testicle size in males.
