Patient's question:
Hello, my daughter is now 7 years and 4 and a half months old. The other day, I noticed a little hardness in her right breast. Then I took her to the hospital for a check-up and had her bone age measured. The results were as follows: Left wrist: 10/10 ossification centers appeared in the left wrist, the ulnar styloid process appeared, the sesamoid bone on the inner side of the thumb did not appear, the epiphyseal lines of the metacarpals and phalanges were not closed, and the distal epiphyseal lines of the ulna and radius were not closed.Doctor's answer:
1. This falls under precocious development; generally, girls begin breast development at around 9.5 years old.2. Based on your description of bone age, it should be about 2 years early, but a definitive conclusion requires reviewing the images.
3. Final height cannot be predicted; typically, girls have a height potential of approximately 25 cm after the onset of breast development.
4. Taking Dabuyinwan has a certain degree of relief effect on breast development, with minimal side effects.
5. If Dabuyinwan is not effective, it is recommended to undergo an LHRH stimulation test to determine if injection treatment is necessary.
