Patient's question:
It's the child of a relative, and I didn't realize it before. It wasn't until the child's growth and development became particularly noticeable that the family noticed. the child had unknowingly eaten almost a whole bottle of the aunt's birth control pills. Now they are taking medication to regulate it. How long does it take to control precocious puberty with lanreotide?Doctor's answer:
It is important to seek treatment immediately if a child is found to be experiencing precocious puberty. Timely medication can delay the onset of menstruation. For the child's current condition, leuprorelin should be administered for at least two years. This medication is given once a month as an injection. If the treatment duration is too short, the child's height may still be significantly affected due to precocious puberty. This medication is very expensive, so using domestically produced drugs would reduce the financial burden.
