Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
The main purpose of medical treatment for precocious puberty is to suppress ovulation, delay sexual development, prevent menstruation and premature fusion of epiphyses, in order to prevent short stature in adulthood. Drugs that suppress sexual development include medroxyprogesterone, chlormadinone acetate, cyproterone acetate, etc. These drugs are relatively effective in suppressing sexual development, often resulting in the cessation of secondary sexual characteristics while height continues to increase, leading to premature fusion of epiphyses and ultimately a final height shorter than expected. In recent years, GnRH agonists have achieved relatively ideal results in treating central precocious puberty, as they can suppress sexual development while controlling height increase. Specific diagnosis and treatment should be carried out under the guidance of local physicians.
