Patient's question:
...growth characteristics. Height 164 cm (has been excessively tall since childhood until now). Bone age checked at 14 years. Epiphyses not closed? Please ask: 1. Is it precocious? 2. Actual age 10.5 years, bone age 14 years, what does it mean? How tall can grow? How old can bone age reach? 3. Should medication be adjusted? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
1. To prevent precocious puberty, parents should also pay attention to limiting their children's intake of chicken, beef, mutton, silkworm pupae, etc., and avoid using unstrictly tested so-called children's food.2. Do not overuse nutritional tonics for children, such as royal jelly, pollen preparations, and chick embryo supplements. Properly store contraceptive drugs and breast enhancement beauty products to prevent children from accidentally taking them or coming into contact with them.
3. Early detection and timely treatment. In addition to mastering necessary medical knowledge, parents should pay close attention to whether their children show early signs of secondary sexual characteristics or sudden acceleration in height growth in children under 10. Once abnormalities are detected, seek medical attention at a formal hospital promptly.
4. Children with precocious puberty should be educated about menstrual knowledge and hygiene. Sexual education should start as early as possible based on the child's level of understanding.
