Patient's question:
Doctor, my 2.5-year-old daughter recently discovered a hard lump in her chest, near the breast area, slightly larger than a peanut. Hospital tests showed elevated estradiol levels (30), and the lump doesn't hurt. Is she experiencing precocious puberty? What should we do? How should it be treated?What kind of help do you need: Is she experiencing precocious puberty? What should we do? How should it be treated?
Doctor's answer:
Your child's condition should be a manifestation of inadequate estradiol (30), indicating precocious puberty. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes this is a sign of excessive "xinghuo" (phase fire).1. Please have the TCM practitioner examine the child. After a clear diagnosis, the doctor should use herbal medicine for treatment. Consider using Zhibai Dihuang Wan.
2. Decide on children's cosmetic and hygiene products to avoid using adult ones.
3. Ensure the child gets all the nutrients needed for growth and development in a timely manner. Consider using Longmu Zhuanggu Zhongji or Centrum.
4. Eat less meat and legume products.
5. Monitor any changes in your child's body and contact the doctor promptly if there are issues.
