Patient's question:
At the age of 9 years and 2 months, my daughter has begun the development of her breasts this year. Today, I noticed some vaginal discharge. She is currently 155 cm tall and weighs 50 kg. I want to ask if this is considered precocious puberty? The doctor's answerDoctor's answer:
Hello, your description of breast development and vaginal discharge in a 9-year-old and 2-month-old child is indeed a typical sign of precocious puberty in children. Most of the causes are due to the influence of estrogen sources. Estrogen and estrogen-like substances entering the body through food disrupt the balance of physiological hormones, which may be the most important reason for early sexual maturity in girls and accelerate the maturation of children's immature endocrine system. It also stimulates hormone secretion, and in severe cases, it can lead to premature development of the reproductive system, causing early sexual maturity in girls.Guidance: Personal advice: Considering the child is 9 years and 2 months old and full of energy, medication is not necessary for treatment. Just paying attention to diet can completely avoid and treat the condition. Parents should also pay attention to reducing the child's intake of chicken, beef, lamb, silkworm pupae, etc.
