What should be done if hormone levels are high and precocious puberty occurs?

Patient's question:

Around four months, I noticed hard lumps the size of rice grains inside… At 18 months, my child was found to have high hormone levels… MRI and ultrasound tests both came back normal! I want to know the differences between precocious puberty caused by medication and precocious puberty caused by food. How can it be treated and controlled?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if sexual precociousness is caused by drugs and food, it can lead to the child's early growth and development. However, since the examination of sexual precociousness is mainly based on discovery, it is difficult to determine the cause of the disease and the reasons caused by food and drugs. The main treatment method is based on the situation; if there is a lack of growth hormone, growth hormone can be chosen to promote growth. It is also necessary to pay attention to the presence of pituitary diseases.
