Patient's question:
A 4.5-year-old girl was found to have hard lumps under her breasts a few days ago, with the right one being larger than the left. After checking at Ningbo Women and Children's Hospital, her bone age was determined to be around 5 years old. She was prescribed Da Bu Yin Wan and Xia Ku Cao Granules. Could Dr. Shen explain why the ovaries might be enlarged in this case? She is very concerned.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Based on the child's symptoms, precocious puberty should be considered. If the hormone test results are normal, it may be pseudo-precocious puberty, and the symptoms can gradually be controlled by adjusting the child's diet.Recommendations: Encourage the child to be more active, eat meals on time, avoid snacks, and not consume junk food such as chicken, instant noodles, puffed snacks, and ham. Also, avoid alcohol. The child's symptoms will gradually improve and return to normal.
