Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and hasn't been eating much. Is it normal for a 5-year-old boy to have erections?Doctor's answer:
Boys with precocious puberty exhibit obvious secondary sexual characteristics before the age of 9, such as a lower voice, the appearance of pubic hair, and the growth of a beard. In such cases, we diagnose precocious puberty. If these symptoms are not present, it does not constitute precocious puberty, and it may simply be due to holding urine in the morning. Precocious puberty has long been a concern for parents. When treating this condition, general treatment should be considered. Only by using professional methods can parents help children recover from the disease quickly and prevent it from affecting their growth and development. Therefore, parents are advised to pay close attention to their children's condition and seek medical treatment promptly.
