Patient's question:
Now there is a re-emergence of precociousness, not knowing what to do, please help me. The past treatment and effects: did not have a thorough check-up at the hospital, what kind of help is needed: I want to know if it's serious.Doctor's answer:
Early puberty poses significant harm to children, primarily manifested as the recurrence of secondary sexual characteristics, especially the recurrence of menarche. For children who have not yet reached this stage of development, it can cause considerable psychological burden and stress. Due to a lack of understanding or acceptance, they may experience renewed fear, shyness, and irritability, which can lead to social issues. At the same time, it also imposes great mental and caregiving pressure on parents.Secondly, during early puberty, the increased levels of sex hormones accelerate bone growth, advance bone age, and lead to premature fusion of growth plates. As a result, the child may remain shorter than average when they reach adulthood.
