How to treat precocious puberty in children

Patient's question:

Lumps under the breast were found two weeks ago. Breast tenderness was discovered. Treatment history and effectiveness of lumps under the breast: No treatment, breast tenderness disappeared, but the lump grew. How should it be treated? Can it be treated without medication?

Doctor's answer:

Clinically, girls are generally considered to be under the age of 8, and boys are under the age of 9. The appearance of secondary sexual characteristics is referred to as precocious puberty. You mentioned your daughter is 8 years old, but I don't know if she has actually reached 8 years old yet. If there are any of the aforementioned breast changes, it's best to go to the hospital and have a gynecologist examine her to determine whether it's breast development or something else. Additionally, it's important to check the levels of sex hormones in her body. After development, these hormone levels will rise, which is quite straightforward.
