Patient's question:
Precocious Puberty What should be done now my child is 137.5 cm tall. Angel Children's Hospital checked and found accelerated bone age growth. The follicles are also larger. The doctor recommended treatment. First, inhibit growth and development.Doctor's answer:
Problem Analysis: The girl is 8 years old. Height: 137 cm. Bone age: 11 years. Diagnosis: Follicular development. It is recommended to use growth-inhibiting injections due to concerns about the side effects of the drug. If the bone age is 3 years ahead, central precocious puberty may be more severe. Bone age is 11 years, height is 137 cm. Clearly, life-long height will be affected. The inhibition of rapid growth is to delay the onset of menstruation as much as possible, to gain time for height growth. As long as it is used as required, the inhibitory injection has no side effects. The main method is to use a "stop-and-go" therapy, rather than a one-time therapy, which can easily lead to ovarian dysfunction.
