Patient's question:
Recently, I've noticed that my child has developed some secondary sexual characteristics. The breasts have already started to grow, and they look less like a child and more mature in appearance. I'm worried this might affect my child's practice, but I'm also unsure what to do. I want to consult about the possible causes of precocious puberty in children.Doctor's answer:
There are several reasons that can lead to precocious puberty in children, among which excessive exposure to light is one of the important factors. Frequent exposure to light sources or sleeping with the night light on during naps can all potentially lead to precocious puberty. The use of hormone-containing medications, as well as frequently consuming foods with additives and hormone-treated foods, can also easily cause precocious puberty. It is recommended to take the child to the pediatric department of the hospital for a thorough examination and to control the condition in a timely manner. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
