Where to seek treatment for precocious puberty in children

Patient's question:

My child is now 14 years old. Recently, I noticed that he often stays alone in his study room watching movies at night. I found a large amount of tissues in the trash can. My husband mentioned that he might be gifted early. We are in Feixi County and want to take our child to the hospital for a check-up. I don’t know where is a good place to see children with precocious puberty. After all, he is still quite young, and I’m worried about his physical and mental health in the future.

Doctor's answer:

If precocious puberty occurs again, it is best to take the child to a regular hospital for a thorough check of the six hormones. Under the guidance of a doctor, appropriate medication should be used for treatment. Pay attention to ensuring the child gets sufficient deep sleep, and avoid letting them eat spicy or stimulating foods. They should also not take hormone-containing medications or foods like fatty meat. It is recommended to encourage the child to exercise moderately, and at the same time, pay attention to talking more with the child and avoid scolding them.
