Patient's question:
My daughter is 15 years old. She is only 150 cm tall. I want to know how to treat it or provide some necessary help to make her grow taller. The help I want: How to help with the treatment?Doctor's answer:
Precocious puberty is an abnormal state of growth and development. Its characteristic is the early onset of puberty. When necessary, it is recommended to undergo ultrasound examinations of the uterus and ovaries, endocrine function tests, and pituitary MRI to further clarify the developmental process. Due to the early onset of puberty in children with precocious puberty, their intelligence and sexual psychology are still immature, making them prone to social issues and causing psychological and life burdens for parents. Additionally, because children's bone growth accelerates, although they may temporarily be taller than their peers, the bones close prematurely, often resulting in shorter adult height compared to normal individuals. Therefore, after diagnosis, medication is required. However, idiopathic precocious puberty does not require treatment, and the use of related medications or foods should be stopped.
