Patient's question:
My precious son is only 12 years old, but he has already shown signs of development. He is 157 cm tall, his voice has deepened, and he has developed acne. Bone age tests indicate he is already 13 years old. So, I would like to ask how to treat precocious puberty in children?Doctor's answer:
General treatment methods involve maintaining a balanced diet and trying to obtain nutrients directly from natural plant and animal foods. Nutrient excess and excessive fat can promote sexual development. Avoid foods and medications containing sex hormones, and minimize the consumption of hormone-rich nutritional health products.Additionally, there is pharmacological therapy. The main treatment method involves using sustained-release GnRH analogs to inhibit the release of pituitary gonadotropin, thereby reducing secondary sexual characteristics, delaying the fusion of bone growth plates, and slowing the progression of bone age. However, not all cases of precocious puberty require medication. If there are organic diseases in the central nervous system, corresponding etiological treatment should be administered based on the nature of the lesions.
