How to judge if a child is experiencing precocious puberty

Patient's question:

Daughter is only 11 years old this year. Today, she came to her menstrual period. Six months ago, I noticed that her breasts had already started to develop. How to speculate that the child is precocious? Besides, there are not many other characteristics to speculate whether the child is precocious.

Doctor's answer:

In the case of the patient, girls usually begin to develop breast protrusion, indicating the start of growth and development. There are not many other features to suggest precocious puberty in the child. Moreover, girls are typically diagnosed with precocious puberty only if they have started developing before the age of eight. Your child's current age is normal, as the growth and development of girls usually occurs around the age of eleven. There is no need to worry excessively. It is advisable to pay more attention to communication with your child and avoid making them feel.
