Patient's question:
How to treat precocious puberty in a 5-year-old child? My baby is 5 years and 8 months old. Alpha-fetoprotein is 0.62, which has decreased while Follicle-Stimulating Hormone is 3.97, which has increased. There is thickening of bilateral breast tissue, with 3mm thickness on the left and 6mm thickness on the right. The echo is low.Doctor's answer:
Parents, in addition to checking and treating, should also pay special attention to their child's psychological changes. After diagnosis, they should explain the necessary knowledge to the child to help her adapt to the new physical changes. Therefore, protecting the child is the top priority for parents. At the same time, mental preparation is essential. Since some precociousness lacks effective treatment methods, it relies more on parental care. Currently, some children's nutritional and health foods on the market contain hormones. Excessive diet can lead to precociousness, which should be noted by parents.
