How is precocious puberty treated?

Patient's question:

At the age of six and a half, precocious puberty was confirmed to be true. Now three months into seven, how should it be treated? Has been taking Zhibai Dihuang Pill, can it be cured? What are some good treatment methods?

Doctor's answer:

Precocious puberty, whether true or false, will again exhibit the characteristic of "rapid increase in height." However, the epiphyses will also fuse prematurely. Children with idiopathic precocious puberty are affected by internal sex hormone interference, leading to premature and accelerated physical growth, early epiphyseal fusion, prolonged growth period, and early cessation of growth, ultimately resulting in a taller adult height compared to their peers with normal puberty development. Children with idiopathic precocious puberty will ultimately reach a height of over 1.5 meters.
