Patient's question:
My daughter has been growing quite fast this year. Many people back in my hometown said she's grown fast and tall this year. But girls at the age of 6 aren't supposed to be in a growth spurt yet, so I suspect it might be precocious puberty. When taking a bath, I noticed that my clitoris has slightly opened a bit. What are the symptoms of precocious puberty in children?Doctor's answer:
The child has again exhibited signs of precocious puberty. In girls, this primarily manifests as mild breast development, with the potential for recurrence of small areolas and slight breast enlargement. Additionally, there may be the reappearance of pubic hair. These symptoms are relatively pronounced. If a 6-year-old child experiences this again, it is essential to pay close attention to dietary management and avoid consuming foods that are excessively tonic or supplement-rich.
