The Path Through Puberty: Order of Operations

Published: Aug. 24, 2021, 10:30 a.m.

The word \u201cpuberty\u201d means the process of sexual maturation - by the end of puberty, a person has the ability to reproduce. But the path through puberty is not a stepwise ladder where one part of the body changes, then another, then another. Rather, it\u2019s a winding path, a checklist of physiological shifts that happen in no particular order. This episode walks through the details of what happens to the body during puberty, with an emphasis on the fact that while the list of changes is fairly universal, their sequence is not at all. The body\u2019s going to do what the body\u2019s going to do when it feels like doing it.\nVisit OOMLA to shop thoughtfully designed (OOM)Bras!\nProduced by Dear Media\nLearn more about your ad choices.
