Is it precocious puberty? What should be done?

Patient's question:

7-year-old boy, height 125cm, weight 48 jin, often rubs his penis on the bed before going to sleep, making it hard. Sometimes he does this while lying on the bed during the day. Doctor, is this precocious puberty? Will it cause short stature? How should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Infants usually have many benefits and do not cause precocious puberty. However, if the infant is under one year old, they should not drink soy milk. Since the gastrointestinal function of infants is not fully developed, although soy milk is rich in nutrients, it is difficult for infants to digest. Infants can drink water correctly. However, you cannot drink too much at once to avoid protein allergies. For early puberty, it is recommended to undergo six sex hormone tests, pituitary MRI, bone age examination, and color Doppler ultrasound examination of the reproductive organs to further clarify the cause of treatment.
