Patient's question:
In July 2012, the bone age was checked as 9 years old, and now it has been checked as 11 years old.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of this condition depends on the cause. The goals of treatment for central precocious puberty include: ① inhibiting or slowing sexual development, especially preventing menstruation in girls; ② inhibiting bone maturation and improving final adult height; ③ restoring age-appropriate psychological and behavioral development.Medroxyprogesterone, also known as dydrogesterone, is a derivative of progesterone used for girls with precocious puberty. The daily oral dose is 10–30 mg, and the dose is reduced after the therapeutic effect is achieved to maintain it.
Cyproterone acetate is a derivative of 17-hydroxyprogesterone, which not only blocks sex hormone receptors but also reduces the release of gonadotropins. The daily dose is 70–150 mg/m2. The above two drugs do not improve final adult height.
