Patient's question:
What are the dangers of precocious puberty in children? An 11-year-old girl has already started her period, and her breasts have also shown obvious signs of development. Can this still prevent her precocious puberty? Is there any negative effect on her height and other aspects? What are the potential harms?Doctor's answer:
If a child experiences precocious puberty, it can also have some adverse effects on height, thereby affecting growth and development. Menarche at the age of 11 is also a normal phenomenon. Currently, children's nutrition is relatively good, so menstruation occurs earlier. In this case, we should pay attention to nutritional supplementation from all aspects. Regular exercise does not affect height growth. Parents should pay more attention to healthy eating habits.
