Patient's question:
2-year-old girl, premature breast development. Discovered more than a week ago, and has undergone many tests to confirm premature breast development, but other tests are normal. The results are shown in the picture. I want to ask if it is confirmed as precocious puberty. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, precocious puberty in children can be caused by factors such as congenital brain developmental abnormalities, intracranial tumors, long-term use of hormones, and in some cases, the cause cannot be identified. Common symptoms in girls include breast development. It is recommended to conduct long-term follow-up in endocrinology. Central precocious puberty can be treated with oral chronic albumin or leuprolide to reduce bone growth and improve final height. Patients with tumors should undergo surgical removal.
