What should be done about precocious puberty and advanced bone age in children?

Patient's question:

My child is only eight years old this year, but has already shown signs of breast development. It was discovered by chance during a bath. Also, the day before yesterday, she told me she was bleeding from her vagina. At first, I didn't know what was going on, but later I realized it was her menstrual period.

Doctor's answer:

Hello. Currently, many children suffer from precocious puberty and advanced bone age. The early appearance of secondary characteristics may be related to the mother's oral hormones and the child's diet. What should I do? Suppress or slow down sexual development, especially preventing menstruation in girls, inhibit bone maturation, improve the final height in adulthood, and restore appropriate psychological behavior at the corresponding age.
