Patient's question:
Can children who have precocious puberty still grow taller? Do they need to be treated in the hospital? How long does it take for the condition to improve? Please help me!Doctor's answer:
Early-onset puberty requires prompt treatment, and it can also cause psychological problems for children. Treatment for early-onset puberty should be supplemented with dietary and exercise measures. Avoid greasy foods and reduce the intake of sweets, while increasing the consumption of fruits and vegetables. Avoid consuming health supplements containing sex hormones. Children with early-onset puberty should ensure adequate sleep and strengthen their physical exercise, especially lower limb exercises such as jumping rope, jumping with rubber bands, and climbing stairs, to promote the division and proliferation of bone cartilage cells and support height growth. Do not blindly give children "tonics" such as royal jelly, pollen preparations, or chick embryo. If children under the age of 10 experience sudden acceleration in height growth or other abnormal symptoms, they should seek medical attention promptly upon discovery.
