Patient's question:
A relative of mine recently saw him and felt he was very mature, even his voice had become hoarse. However, my child, who is the same age, has not yet changed his voice. The main thing is that the children all seem to vaguely want to grow beards, and there are several long hairs on their chins. But his mother doesn't know what the reason is and hasn't treated it yet.What kind of help is needed: Does the child's true precociousness need treatment? How should it be treated now?
Doctor's answer:
Please carefully analyze and explain the condition based on the speech, and strictly prohibit the recurrence of non-targeted explanatory questions. Precocious puberty is caused by the premature activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and functional hyperactivity, which can lead to premature re-emergence of perinatal capabilities. Among them, non-organic inflammation-induced cases are referred to as idiopathic precocious puberty, accounting for the majority. In a small number of cases, central nervous system inflammation, such as meningitis, hypothalamus, pituitary, or pineal gland, may also lead to precocious puberty, which is also a form of true precocious puberty. Additionally, congenital or primary hypothyroidism can also lead to true precocious puberty.
