Patient's question:
The child was born in January 2004.They have never been breastfed and have been drinking formula (up until the small class). Currently, they are a bit picky about food, but everything else is normal. At 8 and a half years old, breast development began. In the past few months, sparse pubic hair appeared, and now at 9 years and 10 months, menstruation was discovered (October 29, 2013). The flow is significant. There are no discomforts or pains. Is this considered early puberty? Currently, the height is 147 cm, and the weight is 35.5 kg.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, mild precocious puberty can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine such as Zhibai Dihuang Wan, Dayin Bupian, and other decoctions; moderate to severe and true precocious puberty can be treated with progesterone and gonadotropin-releasing hormone drugs under the guidance of a doctor.
