A two-year-old girl in the southern province of Ben Tre, who has developed breasts and menstruates, has been diagnosed as reaching puberty. D.K.H began to develop signs of puberty during the past year. Last May, H.N, the mother of the child, took her to the Children's Hospital 2 in Ho Chi Minh City.
