Patient's question:
My daughter is only 6 years old. I noticed that her breasts are very abnormal, and now they have a protruding feeling. At first, I thought it was just a (illusion), but it seems like precocious puberty. I took her to the hospital, and the doctor said it might be related to hormones. I would like to ask, what are the treatments for precocious puberty in children?Doctor's answer:
At the age of only 6, if there is a recurrence of breast development, it is indeed necessary to be alert to precocious puberty. It is now recommended that you take your child to a provincial tertiary hospital to schedule a follow-up visit in pediatrics. First, clearly explain your intentions to the attending doctor, and then undergo tests such as color Doppler ultrasound, pituitary MRI, blood hormone tests, and LHRH agonist tests. If the diagnosis is precocious puberty, GnRH analogs should be used for treatment.
