Patient's question:
Recently, I've noticed that my daughter has shown signs of precocious puberty. She loves sleeping on her stomach. When she's sleeping for a while, you can feel her moving constantly. When I touch her, she's all sweaty. I want to ask if this is precocious puberty. If it is, how should it be treated? Thank you? What kind of help do I want to receive: I want to know for sure if it is.Doctor's answer:
Hello, I am happy to answer your question. According to your description, if a girl has breast development before the age of 8, it is considered precocious puberty. It is generally characterized by breast development, the growth of pubic hair, and vaginal bleeding. In this case, parents don't need to worry, because breast development in some children can occur before the age of 8, but for most children, development is not a problem. This may be related to higher levels of sex hormones in the body. As long as the breasts do not gradually enlarge or can subside within a certain period of time, this is not a major issue. If it is found that the children's breasts are gradually enlarging, it is recommended to go to the hospital in advance. I suggest you not eat junk food.
