How to Handle Precocious Puberty in Girls

Patient's question:

She is only 6 years old, but her breasts have already started to develop. She is also growing taller at a relatively fast pace. How should you treat this?

Doctor's answer:

Guidance: Currently, it is generally believed that girls with the onset of third sexual characteristics before the age of 8 or before the age of 10 with menarche, and boys who have begun sexual development before the age of 10, can be diagnosed with precocious puberty. If a child experiences precocious puberty again, parents should eliminate their concerns, speculate on the cause, and carefully evaluate the situation. It is important not to let the child feel mental stress, while actively cooperating with the doctor for thorough examination and treatment. In this way, children with precocious puberty can still grow and develop normally and will not be affected by future marriage and fertility.
