Patient's question:
The girl is 9 years and 8 months old, 1.36 meters tall, and her breasts have already started to develop. She has had one menstrual period. Treatment history and effectiveness: She received treatment yesterday and had an injection of Deflazacort. The doctor said to receive one injection every 4 weeks, starting with half a year. If there is no increase in height, growth hormone will be added.Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that precocious puberty is classified as yin deficiency with excess fire or liver qi stagnation transforming into fire. Precocious puberty can be divided into true precocious puberty, pseudoprecocious puberty, and partial precocious puberty. The treatment plan formulated by the doctor should be feasible.Guidelines:
1. The treatment plan formulated by the doctor for your child has already been implemented. Please follow it.
2. You may consult a TCM practitioner simultaneously for integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment. Chinese herbal medicine can treat precocious puberty and the side effects of Dafne (Dianabol).
3. Strengthen nutrition and promptly supplement the various nutrients required for children's growth and development. Eat more lean meat, eggs, milk, fruits, etc., as appropriate.
4. Enhance physical exercise—run in the morning, take a walk in the evening, participate in more recreational and sports activities, and communicate more with classmates.
