Patient's question:
Recently, many articles in the newspaper have been about early puberty in children. It seems that my child is also experiencing early puberty. This condition is becoming more common these days. Could you please tell us what precautions parents should take to prevent their children from experiencing early puberty?Doctor's answer:
Early puberty in children primarily refers to the premature development of the physical reproductive system, but psychological and ideological early puberty should not be overlooked either. Physical early puberty can be regulated through diet, such as avoiding the use of plastic tableware and utensils, and minimizing the intake of hormone-containing foods, such as chicken and pork (as they are often fed hormones during their rearing process to accelerate growth and reduce time to market). Psychologically, it is important to provide proper guidance, such as appropriately explaining knowledge about reproductive system development to children, ensuring they do not perceive it as mysterious, and thereby reducing their curiosity and interest in it.
