Patient's question:
My daughter was born on October 5, 2007. She has developed noticeable breast enlargement and pubic hair. Currently, she is 1.55 meters tall, and her bone age is 2 years advanced. Her menstruation has not arrived yet. Could you please tell me if my daughter is experiencing precocious puberty and whether her height will be affected in the future? My height is 1.78 meters, and my wife's height is 1.52 meters. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you: If a girl develops secondary sexual characteristics before the age of eight, it should be considered precocious. Based on your description, your child is developing earlier, but it is not considered precocious. It has little impact on height. It is recommended to undergo a six-hormone test for sex hormones and a growth hormone stimulation test to see if they are normal. If both tests are normal, it generally will not affect development. It is advised to seek treatment at a professional hospital.
