Patient's question:
Doctor, hello: My 2.5-year-old daughter recently discovered a hard lump in her chest, slightly larger than a peanut. Hospital tests showed elevated estradiol (30), and the lump doesn't hurt. Is she experiencing precocious puberty? What should we do? How should it be treated? What kind of help do we need: Is she experiencing precocious puberty?Doctor's answer:
Your child's condition should be a manifestation of elevated estradiol (30), which falls under precocious puberty. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) considers this to be a sign of excessive "xinghuo" (phase fire).1. Please consult a TCM practitioner. After the doctor provides a clear diagnosis through TCM differentiation, herbal medicine treatment can be considered. You may consider using Zhibai Dihuang Wan.
2. Choose children's cosmetics and cleaning products, avoiding the use of adult cosmetics and cleaning products.
3. Timely supplement the various nutrients your child needs for growth and development. You may consider using Longmu Zhuanggu Zhongji or Centrum, among others.
4. Eat less meat and legume products.
5. Pay attention to changes in your child's body and contact the doctor promptly if any issues arise.
