Patient's question:
My child is just 7 years old, and I didn't know about this situation. Her mental state isn't good either. Please ask; what should I do if my child shows signs of precocious puberty?Doctor's answer:
Precocious puberty refers to the premature recurrence of puberty, meaning that a girl experiences a return of gonadal atrophy and secondary sexual characteristics before the age of 8, or before the age of 10 experiences menstruation, accompanied by accelerated physical growth (beyond her peers). If your child is already 18 years old, there is no issue of precocious puberty. It is recommended to consider factors such as bone age, sexual organ development, breast development, and the growth of pubic and underarm hair. The primary treatment for precocious puberty involves medication. In addition, during pediatric treatment, besides immediate medical intervention, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. Patients must avoid excessive mental stress and anxiety to prevent unnecessary interference with their full recovery from the illness.
