Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. What are the dangers of precocious puberty in girls?Doctor's answer:
At the age of 11, breast development in girls is a normal phenomenon and not a sign of precocious puberty. Precocious puberty refers to the physical growth and development of girls under the age of 8, while breast development at the age of 11 is a normal physiological process. Precocious puberty in females can lead to delayed bone growth and fusion of growth plates, and may also cause abnormal development of the reproductive system. It can also interfere with mental health. Prevention of precocious puberty first requires attention to dietary habits—avoiding foods high in hormones, and also preventing children from reading erotic novels or watching many romantic movies.
