Patient's question:
A relative's child, whom I saw a while ago, seemed very mature, even his voice had become hoarse. But my child, who is the same age, hasn't changed his voice yet. The main thing is that the children are all vaguely looking like they want to grow beards, with several long hairs already growing on their chins.Doctor's answer:
Please analyze the condition carefully based on the question and provide a targeted response. It is strictly prohibited to give non-specific answers. Precocious puberty is caused by the premature activation and hyperfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, which can lead to the early onset of reproductive capacity. Among these cases, those caused by non-organic lesions are referred to as idiopathic precocious puberty and account for the majority. In a small portion of cases, central nervous system disorders, such as meningitis, hypothalamic, pituitary, or pineal gland issues, may also cause precocious puberty, which is also classified as true precocious puberty. Additionally, congenital or primary hypothyroidism can also lead to true precocious puberty.
