In children, puberty reaches between 11-13 years, and the spurt puberal takes place among the 12-14 years. If a girl with 13 years and a child with 15 have no signs of development puberal is reason enough to go to consultation. In the girls, as appears the breast button is going to produce the acceleration of growth. However, in children this happens at the end, that is, when already have fully developed all its characters secondary sex. Although in children the precocious puberty is less frequent, a growth of the testicles, penis or hair pubiano before age 9 can be a symptom of that there is a pituitary tumor or hypothalamus.

The precocious puberty

The precocious puberty is defined as the emergence of characters secondary sex (hair pubiano, armpit hair and breasts) before the age of 8 in the girl and the 9 to the child. The progression of clinical picture leads to a maturation accelerated bone and the emergence of early menarche (first rule). If there are between 8 and 9 years is called puberty early, a situation that is the bottom of the normal distribution. In the physiological development in the girl is usually appear in the first place the button breast, secondly, the hair pubiano (although in a each 6 girls appears this before) , in third place, the armpit hair and finally the rule. However, this order can be altered, especially in the cases in which the precocious puberty does not depend on the secretion of pituitary hormones (precocious puberty of origin central or gonadotropin dependent), but that is triggered by the independent production of estrogen in the ovary (precocious puberty or peripheral gonadotropin independent).

The precocious puberty is more prevalent in girls

The precocious puberty or advance is a phenomenon at times hereditary. In a 1 percent of girls and in a 5 percent of the children have a family history. The incidence of precocious puberty is estimated at 1/5000-1/10000 newborns alive. It is much more frequent in girls than boys (proportion 11:1 PM). It is also much more frequently than either of unknown cause in the girl (idiopathic) and because of an organic process in more than 40 percent of children.

The sense of taste is different in women with anorexia
The study also shows that there may be differences in the processing of the information related to the awareness of oneself in people who are recovering from the anorexia, compared to those that have not suffered the disease. The discovery may lead to a better understanding of the cause of this serious mental disorder.

In the study, led by Angela Wagner and Walter H. Kaye, midila brain activity of 32 women using resonance magnica functional imenes (fmri). The researchers examined the brain imenes of 16 women who are habn recovered from the anorexia, and 16 who were the subject of control. Measured reactions to the brain pleasant flavor (sucrose) and the neutral flavor (distilled water).The results of this study by fmri are the first test of that people with anorexia perceive the flavor of a different way to perceive healthy individuals.

The imenes showed that women who are habn recovered from the anorexia, tenn a response significantly less in the sula and brain regions related, in comparison with the response shown by the control group. These eas of the brain analyzed the taste and determine cu pleasant is. In addition, while the control group mostruna strong relationship between the activity of the sula and the assessment that hacn of flavor, this relationship was not in those habn recovered from the anorexia.

According the researchers, it is possible that individuals with anorexia have difficulty to recognize the flavor, or to experience the response pleasant associated with the food. Given that this region of the brain also contributes to regulate emotional, can the food the perceived as repugnant, instead of pleasant. This explain by qulas people anoricas do not fall into the temptation to eat foods that are irresistible for almost anyone, did not respond appropriately to the sensation of hunger and, ultimately, lose as much weight.

The anorexia is a serious illness and potentially lethal, which can result in death in the 10 percent of the cases. Often, begins in adolescence, but its harmful effects extend throughout life, and is nine times m common in women than in men. These caracterticas support the possibility that the causes residing in processes biolicos.

After a childbirth or when the menopause, the urinary leaks are frequent. Three million women would be concerned in France. Disabling the daily lives, these disturbances taboos may often be treated. Committee on the rules of intimate hygiene and adapted solutions. Three million women would suffer incontinence in France. Psychosocial consequences are heavy. A good intimate hygiene and protections adapted can improve the daily life of these women. But the reducation perineale or surgery are sometimes necessary. Intimate Hygiene urinary and leaks

After a childbirth or when the menopause, the muscles of the perineum may be weakened. Women are victims of urinary incontinence, during effort (sport, laughter, sneeze) or continuously. Several attitudes are to be followed in the field of intimate hygiene. The odors linked to the incontinence often bring women to renew the toilet intimate. The use of a soap or freezing appropriate is recommended one to two times per day. If the frequency of the toilet should be increased, it should be practice in the clear water, without soap. In effect, a “excesses” of cleanliness decreases the natural defenses and created the conditions favorable to the development of sprouts. The showers vaginal are strongly discouraged for the same reasons. The use of protections adapted to the incontinence is strongly recommended. Several models exist in the light of the importance of leaks. The frequency of change of these protections can go from one to several times per day. The products offered today usually possess a system of “control” smell effective. But when the leakage urinary cripple the woman in everyday life, other solutions exist.

The rehabilitation and surgery
Binding, the port of protection is not the panacea for leaks urinary. The reducation perineale sometimes sufficient. It is to be the perineum for that it finds its function of control. Simple exercises can be practiced in the House. It may be lead to retain the jet at the miction. If these exercises are not enough, a physiotherapist may propose meetings to the help of sensors introduced in the vagina. The first technique, called the muscle stimulation, is to stimulate the muscles of electrically perineum. The other technique is the biofeedback. Always with the help of a probe, the woman can assess the effectiveness of its contractions via a screen or a sound signal. It may be lead to enter into the “good” muscles. These two methods are without pain and sufficient sometimes to halt the problems of leaks urinary.

In case of failure, surgery is then the only way to treat the incontinence. This proves effective among 90 per cent of patients. For the leakage related to the effort, the urologist will propose the laying of strips synthetic aimed to compress the urethra during the efforts. This intervention are done under local anesthesia and woman emerges from the hospital on the same evening. On other types of leaks, if some drug treatments are not enough , the laying of a artificial sphincter is very effective.

Women are mobilizing in a new feminist movement. Their aims: the right to contraception and abortion as well as the end of the impunity of the rape, the fight against domestic violence, sexual harassment and the degradation of the image of women through the pornography and advertising sexist. In twenty years, laws favorable to women testify to a advanced certain of the rights of women. Measure the path travelled since the nineteenth century.

Contraception and the right to abortion, recent conquests
The era of repression.
From 1889, has started the dissemination of contraceptives in the popular milieus. In France, where practice, however since the eighteenth century a malthusianism bourgeois unique in Europe, the concern natalist is important. In the context bitterness of the defeat of 1870, it must be to the homeland of families many. Furthermore, the influence of the Church, hostile to any practice anti is powerful. The neo-Malthusian are dragged into the mud, their action assimilated to the pornography, while the Netherlands they are recognized of public utility. Contraception represents a twofold challenge: the control of the population and a new freedom for women, both unacceptable for the french company until the middle of century.

In 1920, the law assimilates the contraception to abortion. Any propaganda , is prohibited. The crime of abortion is liable to the assize court. In 1923, the import of articles contraceptives is prohibited. Abortion is considered in Correctional, selection boards popular showing too favorable to accused persons. The 1939 act, which promulgates the Code of the family, strengthen the repression. Special sections of police officers are created. The attempts are punished as abortions. ABORTIONISTS are very severely condemned. In 1941, they may be brought before the court of State. In 1942, abortion. becomes State crime. For example, a avorteuse is sentenced to death and guillotined in 1943. More than 15 000 sentences are imposed various until the liberation.
The latter does not question the legislative arsenal repressive, with its corollary of the death or mutilation caused by the clandestine abortions. The trials still exist against the avortées and their accomplices until the 1970S. However, lawyers and judges no longer apply the law in all its rigor.

A requirement of freedom confirmed belatedly by the law.
New stage in the affirmation of the individuality female : women can choose to be freed from the inevitability of pregnancy by reliable means.
“It must not ignore, neither you nor your companions of suffering that science you a emancipated of the terrible fate to be mother “, writing Paul Robin in 1900.
When the neo-Malthusian speak of emancipation, they introduce a concept then unacceptable. Women can choose to have little or no children without relinquishing sexual life. Pleasure without the risk ! It is the end of the moral, the end of the family whose procreation is the purpose, the end of the power of husband on his wife.

In calling for the “strike of bellies”, the feminist Marie Huot stresses the importance of power that gives women this new opportunity. This power, not more than female pleasure, it cannot then be question, even among the largest majority of feminists, in the movement, only Madeleine Pelletier and Nelly Roussel a discordant note bring. The struggle of pioneers is included in between two wars by a few doctors and activists progressive. In 1935, Dr. Jean Dalsace opens illegally in Suresnes the first dispensary Birth Control. After the Second World War, a policy of incentives to replace family the repression. Resumption of the action militant then strong mobilization of women of the 1970 will move the French legislation of the repression toward a relative freedom.

In 1955, therapeutic abortion is authorized for “save the life of the mother”. The doctors may not practicing it. To this time, some doctors and legislators, relayed by journalists and essayists, attempt to soften the rigors of the French law. Dr. Marie-Andrée Ann Weill-Hallé based in 1956 “Maternity happy” that becomes the Movement french for family planning in 1960. Intended to inform on the contraceptives, centers of planning offer medical consultations and issue contraceptives. They are outside the law but create a state of fact. The support of the movement Protestant , of the freemasonry and liberal circles promotes a timid in awareness. In 1965, Nobel Prize laureates are in favor of contraception. Two major forces but politico-social, the Church and the French  Communist Party, are opposed to the liberalization.

In 1956, proposals for liberal law are rejected. In 1961, the TAKEN Opens in Grenoble the first center of home to the public. In 1963, he has 16 000 acceding states. Meanwhile, in 1955, to the United States, Dr. Gregory Pincus has developed an oral contraceptive, the pill. Its safety is established by a Council of wise men in 1966. In 1967, the hon. member Lucien Neuwirth fact vote a law which authorizes the use of contraceptives. It remains prohibited to make the advertising. After May 1968, the act tries to follow the evolution of morals without losing its interests of control. Sexual Education is now in the program of collèges and lycées. In 1972, centers (medical) planning or family education are created, as well as institutions of information, consultation or family council. The following year sees the foundation of the Higher Council of sex information, the regulation of births and the family education. The liberalization is growing. In 1974, the pill and the coil are reimbursed. Contraception is free and issued anonymously for minors in the centers of planning.

In 1975, after a struggle waged by associations feminists, a mobilization of women without precedent and the efforts of the Minister of Health, Simone Veil, abortion or voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy (IVG), is authorized under certain conditions. The debate was heated to the National Assembly and the bill is passed for five years. It becomes definitive in 1979. The doctors can however invoke the conscience clause to refuse to an abortion. Social Security shall reimburse the IVG from 1982. Scientific progress are quickly taken into account by the act. AS THE (IVG drug) can be used in centers of voluntary interruption of pregnancy after 1990. Advertising relating to condoms and other contraceptives shall however be allowed that in 1991 and in certain conditions.

The French have now the means legal and medical to decide to have or not of children. This freedom is however called into question by commandos christians extremists who, like american groups, attack who practice centers of induced abortions.
An act of 1993 now allows prosecute the perpetrators of these actions.
