Causes of precocious puberty in children

Patient's question:

The child is only 7 years old, but recently I noticed that her breasts have already grown and are slightly protruding. I quickly took her for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it was precocious puberty. I was a bit baffled. The child's diet is just regular family meals, with no special foods. What are the causes of precocious puberty in children?

Doctor's answer:

Early puberty in children is not just about food, so food is also an important aspect. If the food you eat contains a lot of estrogen and other substances, it may indeed accelerate early development in children. In addition to snacks, children may consume more, which can also promote early development. These things may not have a significant impact on adults, but they can be very influential on children.
Apart from food, there are other factors in daily life. For example, the things children frequently watch or are exposed to may include adult content.
