Patient's question:
Dr. Zhong, my daughter is 8 years and 5 months old. Today, I suddenly noticed some swelling in her left breast, which is probably due to development. She said it started back in June. What should I do? Is it precocious puberty?Doctor's answer:
The onset of gonadal development before the age of 8 should be defined as precocious puberty. This child needs to undergo hormone level testing, ovarian ultrasound, and pituitary MRI. If it is indeed gonadal activation, can be used to suppress it until the child reaches normal height. We only need to maintain the child's lightness, avoid various stimulating foods, take some supplements that are good for memory, try to eat less snacks, less meat, and more vegetables, and gradually improve in the future.
