Patient's question:
My son is five years old. Since he was young, he has liked to sleep on his stomach. But recently, I've noticed that he likes to put his hands on his genital area and then press hard with his genital. I'm worried this might be a sign of early sexual development. The help I want: explain what might be causing this behavior.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the child's condition is also a habit issue. Currently, it is necessary to promptly stop the child's behavior and check for any signs of precociousness. Guidance: To divert the child's attention, adults must be mindful of avoiding what the child sees during sexual activity. The above is a suggestion regarding whether children may enjoy pressing their genitalia to display signs of precociousness. I hope this helps you, and I wish you good health.
