Is the slight protrusion of the breasts a sign of precocious puberty?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've noticed that my breasts have started to slightly protrude. Is this a sign of precocious puberty? Should I go to the hospital for treatment? Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the child is 8 years old and has breast swelling with lumps and tenderness. This is generally a developmental phenomenon in children, and attention should be paid to care.
Recommendation: How is the child's height? Pay attention to comprehensive nutrition. If the height is prolonged, it's okay. Otherwise, medication control may be necessary.
Premature development in girls shortly after menstruation. If the baby exhibits this condition, it is recommended to have a breast ultrasound and blood hormone test done at the hospital to rule out any issues.
