Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. Could you please tell me if the symptoms will disappear after receiving three years of early puberty suppression injections?Doctor's answer:
The growth arrest shot for precocious puberty is a hormone-based medication. Excessive use can have certain effects on a child's hormone levels, sexual development, and physical condition. The recurrence of precocious puberty may be caused by a disease change due to a lesion in the pituitary gland. It is best for the patient to undergo a CT scan of the pituitary gland first to understand how inflammation in the pituitary gland can lead to additional tumor-like changes.
