Patient's question:
My daughter is 8 years old this year. Before the summer vacation, her breasts were normal. During the summer vacation, I don't know what she ate, but her breasts have grown. What should girls with early puberty avoid eating?Doctor's answer:
Precocious puberty is a sexual development disorder characterized by the premature onset of sexual maturation. It refers to the appearance of secondary sexual characteristics before the age of sexual development, such as breast development, the growth of pubic and underarm hair, rapid increases in height and weight, and the development of external genitalia. Proper dietary control is essential. Avoid excessive nutrition, especially foods high in fat, and reduce the intake of sweets, while ensuring adequate protein consumption. It is also important to increase the consumption of vegetables and fruits. It should be noted that children should avoid consuming nutritional supplements and health products that may contain sex hormones, and should not use skincare products containing sex hormones.
