Is it true that children eating abalone will cause precocious puberty?

Patient's question:

I went to Qingdao for work last week. The abalone in Qingdao is especially good and cheap, so I bought more. My child also really likes it, but my mother-in-law said that children shouldn't eat abalone because it can cause precocious puberty. Does abalone cause precocious puberty in children? I've already eaten a lot of it. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Early-onset puberty requires a thorough medical examination and diagnosis by a professional doctor before treatment can be implemented under their guidance. The causes of early-onset puberty in children vary, as do the severity of the condition and the treatment methods. The frequency of medication will also differ. Therefore, if you suspect your child has early-onset puberty, it is best to take them to a children's hospital for a thorough examination. Based on the examination results, treatment should be implemented under the guidance of a professional doctor. Pay attention to your child's diet and encourage them to engage in regular physical exercise.
