Doctor's answer:
An eight-year-old child's development is indeed advanced. The food today contains many hormones that can promote early puberty in children. It is best to avoid fried and processed foods as much as possible. Children should also engage in more exercise. Even if they exercise excessively, it can help them grow taller without gaining weight. First, consider whether there is a possibility of excessive exogenous hormone intake. It is necessary to undergo a detailed medical examination at the hospital, including bone age assessment, ultrasound of the uterus and ovaries, ultrasound of the adrenal glands, and CT or MRI of the pituitary gland. Additionally, tests for adrenal function and thyroid function should be conducted. Hypothyroidism and adrenal cortical hyperplasia are both possible causes of precocious puberty.
