Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. How should precocious puberty be treated?Doctor's answer:
If precocious puberty is caused by improper dietary habits and education, normal education, diet, and care are usually sufficient without the need for treatment. If it is caused by exogenous factors, the intake of drugs and foods containing sex hormones should be stopped immediately. If it is due to a tumor in a specific organ, surgery or radiotherapy and chemotherapy may be required to remove the primary lesion. For idiopathic precocious puberty, hormone-based medications such as deslorelin can be used. The key to early treatment is crucial. The earlier the treatment begins, the less harm it will cause to the child.
