Patient's question:
Son is over 9 years old, height 1.3 meters, weight 45 jin. Is he overweight? I found that his thoughts are different from ours, and he speaks as if he is more mature. Sometimes the things he says are like what an 18-year-old would say. Do I need to measure his bone age? What are the main manifestations of early puberty in boys? What kind of help do I need: How can I tell if a child is early maturing?Doctor's answer:
Precocious puberty is a common endocrine disorder in children. Precocious puberty refers to the early onset of pubertal growth and development in children. Girls who experience significant breast development before the age of 8 and boys who develop a Adam's apple or a deepening voice before the age of 9 are considered to have precocious puberty. The above is advice on how to determine if a child is prematurely intelligent. It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
