Patient's question:
At the age of 10 and a half, I started masturbating. At 11 and a half, I began to grow pubic hair and a mustache. Now at 12, my mustache has grown into a small beard. My testicles are also quite large, and my genital area is very dark. When I go to the bathroom, my classmates see and say things like, "Your testicles are so big," "Your genital area is very dark," "You have a lot of pubic hair," and so on. Am I not experiencing precocious puberty? I'm scared.Doctor's answer:
Regarding your situation, I suggest you go to the hospital for a face-to-face check-up of endocrine hormones. If there are no problems, I suggest you don't worry too much. Everyone's development differs at different times. This happens when you reach puberty. I suggest you avoid masturbation, as it may affect your growth and development, and change your focus. Try to watch less stimulating movies and TV shows, and participate more in outdoor activities.
