Patient's question:

History of previous treatment and effectiveness: None.
What kind of help I need: I would like to know if I need to go to the hospital for treatment?
Doctor's answer:
A child over 10 years old showing signs of genital development is no longer considered precocious puberty. Nowadays, due to better nutrition and the presence of more hormone additives in food, children tend to develop earlier. A girl getting her period at 10 years old is not considered precocious puberty, so there is no need to worry. Early menstruation may also be irregular. Girls experiencing menstruation before the age of 8 were considered precocious puberty, but this is no longer the case now. They can still grow taller, so there is no need to worry excessively. The child is currently in a growth phase and should ensure proper nutrition and exercise. Pay attention to dietary structure and safety.
