Patient's question:
The child is over 8 years old and has breast development. The child started menstruating at 10 years and 2 months old. A bone age test at the hospital showed 12 years old, and a magnetic resonance imaging of the head revealed no abnormalities in the pituitary gland. The following are the test results and ultrasound findings. After examination, the diagnosis was precocious puberty, and it is possible that the child may not grow tall in the future. Currently, the treatment is unclear. Please provide an expert answer.Doctor's answer:
Hello, your child is already in the stage of sexual development. If they haven't shown signs of precocious puberty by the age of 8, there's no need to worry. You can try checking if traditional Chinese medicine preparations can regulate the endocrine system. Don't be concerned, as children with precocious puberty can still develop normally and it won't affect their future marriage or childbirth.Suggestions: Typically, it's recommended to eat more green vegetables, such as carrots and leafy greens, as well as fruits with high water content like oranges, watermelons, and peaches.
