Patient's question:
My niece was diagnosed with precocious puberty when she was two years old. She is now over three years old, and the hospital has recently recommended surgery. I don't know if the surgery can completely cure it and if there are any risks.Previous treatment and outcomes:
She has been taking medication and her diet has been controlled, but the condition has still worsened.
Help needed:
Is surgery dangerous? Which hospital is better? What is the cost?
Doctor's answer:
For this condition caused by tumors leading to hyperactive endocrine, early surgery can be performed. The surgery for tumor removal must be moderate and should not be completely excised, as some excretory function must be preserved. Therefore, there is a certain level of risk, and excess is as bad as deficiency. Hence, choosing a hospital with strong technical capabilities is the right decision. It is recommended to select a reputable local hospital. The surgery is definitely necessary, as medication cannot effectively counteract the endocrine issues.The above advice is for the question "Is there a risk in surgery for children with precocious puberty due to tumors?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
