Patient's question:
My child is 9 years old and 135 cm tall. There are signs of breast development, and after examination, it was diagnosed as precocious puberty. What should I do?I just had a check-up two days ago, and the doctor said I need to get injections to control the development. Will these injections affect future development? What are the consequences if I don’t get them? How should I handle daily life in that case?
Doctor's answer:
1. Pay more attention to changes in children. Most precocious children develop unintentionally, and adults often overlook their developmental process. Therefore, we should pay more attention to children's emotions and observe their daily lives more closely. Once we notice precociousness in a child, we should identify the cause and correct it promptly.2. Pay attention to controlling children's media exposure. Help children clarify misinformation in the media in a timely manner, restrict watching TV programs "unsuitable for children," and assist them in distinguishing what should be imitated and what should not.
