Patient's question:
Hello, recently chatting with my sisters, we talked about early puberty in children. Doctor, how can I determine if a child is experiencing precocious puberty? What are the characteristics of precocious puberty? If a child shows signs of precocious puberty, what should I do? How should I guide the child?Doctor's answer:
Hello, friend. It's a pleasure to answer your question. The obvious characteristics of precocious children are generally seen before the age of 10. In girls, the onset of menstruation, the densification of body hair, the growth of pubic hair, and breast development are all signs of precocious puberty in girls. In boys, the appearance of an Adam's apple, adult voice, dense body hair, pubic hair, and normal penile erection are specific signs of precocious puberty in boys.
