What are the symptoms of precocious puberty in children?

Patient's question:

Male, age 12, bone age 13, high sex hormone levels. Penis development, growth of pubic hair, Adam's apple, voice change. The doctor recommends further diagnosis to determine whether it is peripheral precocious puberty or central precocious puberty. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, I'm glad to help you with your question: According to your description of your child's condition, it should be the child who goes to the children's endocrinology department of the provincial hospital for examination to clarify the diagnosis and then treatment. Because, if it is treated early at this age, it will be very effective for the child's future height. The diagnosis is clearly symptomatic, so it does not affect the child's final height. I hope my answer is helpful to you and leave me a message.
