Patient's question:
Last night, my second-grade daughter came home, and I noticed that her chest had suddenly become much more prominent, about 6 cm. My daughter didn't care, but I was terrified. What could be going on?Doctor's answer:
The so-called precocious puberty refers to the occurrence of sexual development before the expected time, and breast development is one of them. However, this needs to be confirmed through ultrasound to determine whether it is nuclear development or fat accumulation. This needs to be clear. If it is nuclear development, it is necessary to consider precocious puberty and seek professional examination in the endocrinology department of a provincial children's hospital for ultrasound of the uterus and ovaries in adults to observe the development of follicles and determine the actual situation of precocious puberty.
