Patient's question:
Daughter is 9 years and 9 months old, height 1.34, already has white underwear. Experts, is her height shorter than average, indicating precocious puberty, and does she need treatment?Doctor's answer:
Due to the current good living conditions, diet, and environment, it is generally believed that girls develop earlier. An 8-year-old girl having her menstrual period is normal. Your child is 9 years old this year and is developing normally, with no precocious puberty. No treatment is needed. The child's height is basically normal. Typically, girls do not reach 14 until they are 14 years old. Now, it is best to give your child more calcium-rich foods and let them enjoy the sunshine outdoors.
