Patient's question:
My daughter is 9 years old, 140 cm tall, and weighs 43 kilograms. Since she was 8, her breasts have started to develop. In the past year, I've noticed that she has been gaining weight, her breast development has been rapid, and she has also grown taller. Because she has always been taller than her peers since she was young, I didn't pay much attention.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Precocious puberty is a common endocrine disease in children. It refers to the development of secondary syndromes in girls before the age of 8, or in boys before the age of 9.5, or in girls before the age of 10. Children with precocious puberty experience accelerated growth in height and weight. According to your description, your daughter indeed shows signs of precocious puberty.Guidance: It is recommended to check endocrine hormones. Avoid foods and medications containing hormones. Identify the cause. Medication may be used if necessary. It is advised not to consume soy products, honey, or royal jelly, which contain phytoestrogens and androgens, as they may promote precocious puberty.
