Patient's question:
Last night I noticed that my child had experienced nocturnal emission. Previously, there were no other abnormalities observed.Test results and careful examination: None.
History of previous treatment and effectiveness: None.
What kind of help is needed: What is going on here? What should I do?
Doctor's answer:
If it is confirmed to be nocturnal emission, it is precocious puberty. For boys, if secondary sexual characteristics reappear and growth and development occur before the age of 9, it is considered precocious puberty. Nocturnal emission usually reappears 1-2 years after the onset of growth and development. It is best to have bone age measured. If bone age is advanced, hormone tests such as sex hormones and cortisol should also be conducted, along with a pituitary magnetic resonance examination. It is recommended to undergo a detailed examination in the pediatric endocrinology department and receive appropriate treatment to minimize the impact on final height.
