Patient's question:
My youngest daughter is only 8 years old, but she has already developed hard lumps in her breasts. I'm worried it might be precocious puberty. Will it affect her growth and development?What kind of help do I need: What are the harms of precocious puberty on the body? Will it affect development?
Doctor's answer:
Due to early sexual development. Under the influence of sex hormones. Height grows rapidly. But at the same time. It promotes the premature fusion of epiphyses. Making the growth of height terminate earlier than normal children. After reaching adulthood. They are usually shorter than normal people. Due to early development in children. Precocious puberty accounts for a certain proportion in dwarfism. Children with precocious puberty. Generally have a height higher than normal peers at that time.
