Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. How can precocious puberty be treated in an 8-year-old girl?Doctor's answer:
At the age of 8, there may be precocious puberty. In terms of treatment, it is necessary to have medical examinations such as checking the excretion of sex hormones, gynecological ultrasound, and taking X-rays to examine the growth plates. Medication treatment generally involves the use of cell repair-type GnRHa preparations. If an individual has abnormal bone age, it may also be necessary to consider the use of growth hormone. Increasing regular exercise can help improve the patient's immunity and prevent the recurrence of the condition.
