Boys with precocious puberty often grow faster, usually suddenly, but then stop growing, resulting in a final height taller than the target height. Physical examinations will reveal that the rate of skeletal maturation also accelerates. Under normal circumstances, boys begin to develop around the age of 12, accompanied by changes in secondary characteristics such as testicular enlargement and penile enlargement. If these symptoms appear before the age of 9, it can be considered precocious puberty. Additionally, there may be some localized changes, such as a deeper voice, muscle development, and the appearance of pubic hair.
