What department should I go to for precocious puberty?

Patient's question:

The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. Which department should I go to for precocious puberty?

Doctor's answer:

Now can you see an endocrinology department? For premature puberty in females, it is necessary to check hormone excretion, undergo a gynecological ultrasound, and also examine bone age and growth hormone levels. If a thorough examination confirms premature puberty, medication must be used to suppress it, while also paying attention to increased activity to reduce growth hormone excretion. Premature puberty can affect an individual's potential for height development, possibly leading to stunted growth, so it is necessary to seize the opportunity to reduce this interference.
