Patient's question:
My dear daughter is only eight years old, but for some unknown reason, she has grown faster than normal children and is almost as tall as me. She even started her menstrual period at the age of eight. My husband and I are very worried. What should we do about precocious puberty in girls?Doctor's answer:
Early-onset puberty in girls can be managed under the guidance of a doctor by using many hormone-containing medications to interfere with and suppress the progression of precocious puberty. The primary goal of medication is to inhibit the secretion of pituitary hormones. While undergoing medication treatment, it is also important to enhance psychological counseling and support for the child. Pay attention to dietary habits, avoid eating out-of-season fruits and vegetables, and do not consume foods with excessive hormones to prevent causing precocious puberty in children.
