Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and hasn't been eating much. Is precocious puberty requiring hospitalization? How is it treated?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, my clarification is as follows: A girl who develops secondary sexual characteristics before the age of 8 or has her first menstrual period before the age of 10, and a boy who has already begun sexual development before the age of 10, can be diagnosed with precocious puberty. Generally, hospitalization is not necessary. Parents should control the child's diet by avoiding high-calorie foods and foods containing hormones. If you are 16 years old, it should not be considered precocious puberty. I hope my explanation is helpful to you.
