How to prevent precocious puberty?

Patient's question:

I found a hard lump in my breast and experience pain at regular intervals. When I went to the hospital, the doctor said it's nothing and suggested monitoring. I am very worried—is it precocious puberty? Is there any good way to prevent it? I look forward to your reply! Is it precocious puberty then?

Doctor's answer:

If the cause of precocious puberty is found after diagnosis, treatment should be administered. Guidelines: For patients with idiopathic precocious puberty, 100-200 mg of medroxyprogesterone can be administered intramuscularly every 1-2 weeks, or oral tetracycline can be taken at a dose of 1-2 mg per day. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone has a good therapeutic effect. After treatment in female children, menstruation stops and breast size decreases.
