Patient's question:
Symptoms include rapid growth, height of 133cm, penile enlargement, a small amount of pubic hair, and thickening of leg hair. Age: 5 and a half years old, bone age: 13 years old, 17-hydroxyprogesterone: 163 (normal value: <11), hyperadrenocorticism, normal pituitary MRI, normal adrenal MRI.Doctor's answer:
Hello friend, I really understand how you feel right now. A child developing at the age of 5 is too early. Nowadays, many of the foods children eat contain hormones, which has led to most children developing early. I suggest taking your child to a regular hospital's endocrinology department and, under the guidance of a doctor, using medication to intervene and treat the condition. In terms of diet, it's important to control what your child eats more strictly, avoiding foods that contain hormones as much as possible. In particular, try to eat less or avoid chicken, reduce the consumption of puffed foods, limit meat intake, and drink fewer beverages, especially carbonated drinks. Instead, eat more fresh, seasonal vegetables and fruits. Encourage your child to exercise more. Wishing your child a healthy growth!
