Patient's question:
Girls usually change their voices between the ages of 12-15. My daughter is almost 11 years old, and she has changed her voice. Is it precocious puberty?Doctor's answer:
Early maturation refers to the development of breasts, pubic and underarm hair, rapid growth in height and weight, and the development of external genitalia before the age of sexual development. There are many causes of precocious puberty, which can be divided into central (genuine) and peripheral (pseudo) based on how early the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis is activated. The main goal of treating central precocious puberty is to inhibit or reduce the expansion of chronic puberty, especially to prevent menstruation in girls, inhibit bone maturation, and fully restore the psychological development of extra age.
