Does taking injections for precocious puberty really make you taller?

Patient's question:

Today I went to Ningbo Women and Children's Hospital for a check-up. Dr. Luo said it was only a B ultrasound because it was early development, and he prescribed Xia. I am very anxious now. I don't know what to do. How should this condition be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if you are diagnosed with precocious puberty, you should use a medication called growth hormone. This is normal, as it is an external environmental factor causing physical development, and it is also a common phenomenon, but it will not affect your child's future height development.
Suggestions: No need to use certain hormone therapies. Have your child's growth hormone levels checked, and undergo bone density testing during further examinations.
