Breast development in male during puberty
Cause
Tanner stage
Pubic hair stages
PH1 – pre-pubertal
PH2 – sparse growth of long, slightly pigmented hair, straight or curled at base of penis or along labia
PH3 – darker, coarser and more curled hair spreading sparsely over junction of pubes
PH4 – adult in type but covering smaller area, without spread to medial surface of thigh
PH5 – adult in type and quantity with horizontal upper border
Tanner staging
Breast stages
B1 – pre-pubertal
B2 – breast bud stage with elevation of breast and papilla, enlargement of areola
B3 – further enlargement of breast and areola, no separation of their contour
B4 – areolar and papilla form a secondary mound above level of breast
B5 – mature stage with projection of papilla only related to recession of areola
Tanner staging
