Patient's question:
My daughter is 15 years old and is less than 150 cm tall. I want to know how to treat it or provide some necessary help to make her grow taller. The help I want: How to help with treatment?Doctor's answer:
Precocious puberty is an abnormal state of growth and development, characterized by early onset of puberty. When necessary, it is recommended to undergo transvaginal ultrasound of the uterus and ovaries, endocrine function tests, and pituitary MRI to further clarify the developmental process. Due to the early onset of puberty in children with precocious puberty, their intelligence and sexual psychology are still immature, making them prone to social issues and causing psychological and life burdens for parents. Additionally, because the growth of children's bones accelerates, although they temporarily surpass their peers in height, early closure of the bones often results in shorter adult height compared to normal individuals. Therefore, after diagnosis, medication is required. However, idiopathic precocious puberty does not require treatment. Discontinue the use of related medications or foods.
