How to treat precocious puberty in children?

Patient's question:

My daughter had a lump in one breast in March. The hospital said it was a sign of early puberty and could be managed with monitoring. Her lower body is normal. Now the lump has disappeared, but another one has grown. Do I need treatment? What could be the cause?

Doctor's answer:

Sex education for young children has always been a concern for parents. Their sexual awareness is not yet fully developed, and they may imitate intimate behaviors observed in adults, such as hugging, kissing, or touching sexual organs. The phenomenon of early sexual maturity is indeed alarming. After learning how to treat pediatric precocious puberty, parents should also pay attention not to engage in intimate behaviors with other genders in daily life, nor should they let children sleep with them, as this will lead to more severe and precocious puberty. It will suppress the child's growth in height and make them more easily excluded by other children. This issue must be given sufficient attention.
