Patient's question:
Doctors, hello!! My son just turned eleven years old. A few days ago, I noticed a small amount of pubic hair less than one centimeter long has grown near his genital area. Is this normal? Is it a sign of precocious puberty?Doctor's answer:
The current performance of the child does not fall under precocious puberty. The growth of pubic hair is due to the rise in hormone levels during puberty. As for calcium supplementation, it is recommended to be supplemented through foods such as milk and shrimp. Sun exposure is also necessary. The current situation of the child is considered normal development, and there is no need for medication intervention. Providing the child with reasonable nutrition, consuming more seafood products, and participating in outdoor activities are sufficient.
