What are the six reasons for children's precocious puberty?

As people's living standards improve, the phenomenon of precocious puberty in children has become more and more common in recent years and is often reported in newspapers. There is an important relationship between children's precocious puberty and poor diet. For example, there are some hormone residues in some animal and plant foods, or parents blindly give their children supplements and often take health care products, which can easily lead to children's precocious puberty. Precocious puberty in children is harmful to their physical health and psychological development.

1. Hormones Residues in Animals and Plants

Animal feed additives contain hormones, and the animals being raised will have hormone residues in their bodies. The meat products made from them will also have effects on children's bodies when they are eaten. In addition, most out-of-season vegetables and fruits are grown with hormones, and eating such fruits often is not good for children's health.

2. Environmental hormones at work

Substances discharged into the environment by detergents, pesticides and plastic industries and their decomposition products can produce a series of hormone-like pollutants in nature. If these pollutants are ingested by children, they can cause abnormal development of reproductive organs and bones.

3. Blindly taking supplements

The precocious puberty in children caused by this reason is more prominent in southern cities. Guangdong people like to make soup, and many people add animal offal when making soup. The animal's endocrine glands and other endocrine glands contain hormone substances that can enter the human body through meals.

4. Intake of health supplements

Some parents blindly give health supplements that can enhance appetite to children who don’t like to eat. However, health supplements that can increase appetite generally contain hormone ingredients. Long-term use can cause an increase in hormone levels in children’s blood, leading to precocious puberty.

5. Premature psychological stimulation

With the popularization of television, VCD, etc., some children can be exposed to behavioral scenes that are beyond their psychological age through movies and TV shows at an early age. According to statistics, there are far fewer patients with precocious puberty in relatively closed areas than in open areas, there are significantly fewer patients in rural areas than in urban areas, and the age of menarche for rural girls is significantly later than that for urban girls. These are all clear evidence that psychological factors play a role.

6. Affected by certain diseases

Children may also experience precocious puberty due to some diseases (such as intracranial tumors, genetic factors, etc.). Therefore, parents should pay attention to the development of their children. Once they find that their children have secondary sexual characteristics prematurely, they should go to the endocrinology department for examination and treatment in time to avoid the development of the disease.
