Why do boys have puberty?

Puberty is a normal part of human development that both boys and girls go through. It is triggered by hormonal changes that signal the body to start developing secondary sexual characteristics, such as breasts in girls and facial hair in boys.

In boys, puberty typically begins between the ages of 9 and 14. The first sign of puberty is usually an increase in the size of the testes and scrotum. The penis will also start to grow larger and longer.

Other physical changes that boys may experience during puberty include:

* Growth spurt

* Increased muscle mass

* Deepening of the voice

* Development of facial hair

* Oily skin and acne

* Increased sweating

* Body odor

Puberty can also lead to emotional and psychological changes, such as:

* Increased independence

* Mood swings

* Increased sexual desire

* Difficulty concentrating

Puberty is a normal process that every boy will go through. It is important to talk to your son about puberty and what to expect so that he can feel prepared and supported.
