Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. Can Codonopsis improve precocious puberty?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm glad to help you solve your problem. Codonopsis doesn't have stability and early maturation effects. Early maturation refers to the premature maturation of the ovaries, causing the child to develop secondary sexual characteristics before the age of eight, including breast development and axillary hair growth. In addition, if the child experiences menarche before the age of nine, their height growth will stop, and typically, their mentality is not mature. In treatment, the main goal is to suppress the function of the ovaries and stabilize the child's growth and development. Codonopsis should not be used to treat precocious puberty.
