Patient's question:
My son is 12 years old this year, and he is developing slowly. At 12, he is only 1 meter tall, but weighs 70 jin. What should a 12-year-old child eat to develop faster?Doctor's answer:
Development of the genital organs during childhood is very slow, remaining in a juvenile state. Upon entering puberty, under the influence of endocrine factors, the internal and external genital organs develop rapidly. Compared to other body systems, the reproductive system matures within a relatively short period, exhibiting significant gender characteristics. Sexual development includes the morphological development of the genital organs, functional development, and the development of secondary sexual characteristics. No special diet is required; simply enhancing nutritional supplementation is sufficient.
