Patient's question:
Hello, the one-year-old girl has a slight protrusion in her chest. She went to the hospital for a check-up and the ovaries were found to have follicles. I don't know if it's urgent now and whether immediate treatment is needed, but our doctor, due to limited clinical experience, temporarily said there's no big problem. I'm worried about the technology here.Doctor's answer:
Hello, a 1-year-old child has breast development and an ultrasound shows follicles, indicating precocious puberty. Further examination is needed to identify the underlying cause of precocious puberty and to initiate intervention treatment. Based on your description, the child may be experiencing early maturation, possibly related to factors such as consuming junk food and beverages. It is necessary to take the child to the hospital for sex hormone testing, and a treatment plan will be determined based on the results. If the local hospital lacks sufficient technical expertise, it is recommended to seek treatment at a higher-level hospital.
