Patient's question:
My baby is more than two and a half years old. In spring, I noticed that the hair on my baby's lips was a bit long because I didn't pay attention before and thought it was normal. But recently, I noticed that the skin color there was a bit dark, and only outdoors did I see those hairs turn black and become like a beard. Since weaning at one and a half months, she has been drinking two packs of milk every day, totaling over 400 milliliters, and has not eaten any food containing androgens. I am looking for help:Hello, do I need to have hormone tests done? Is the milk consumption too high?
Doctor's answer:
Hello! The condition of your son may be caused by excessive excretion of male hormones in the body. This could be a result of early maturation due to his usual dietary habits and unhealthy lifestyle. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for an endocrine check-up. In daily life, try to ensure your child eats fresh vegetables and fruits, avoids out-of-season foods, does not consume fast food, and does not give him high-nutrient health supplements. For your child's daily necessities, try to choose natural and non-irritating products.
