What causes precocious puberty in children?

Precocious puberty is a disease that seriously affects the physical health of adolescents and children. Some children have lesions in the central nervous system, which eventually lead to precocious puberty. There are also some children who do not have organic diseases in their bodies, but their endocrine functions are disturbed, which eventually leads to precocious puberty. Precocious puberty can cause a person's height growth to stagnate and shorten their lifespan. Here are some possible reasons why children may have precocious puberty.

There is currently no conclusive evidence that consuming infant formula causes precocious puberty, and it is impossible for hormones to be added to infant formula to cause precocious puberty in infants. "If adding hormones to infant formula can lead to precocious puberty, then tens of thousands of babies across the country will suffer from precocious puberty. No company would be stupid enough to do this. It would be tantamount to self-destruction for the company." The current reports of individual babies suffering from precocious puberty due to consuming Synutra milk powder are purely coincidental. It is recommended that these infants should go to a regular hospital for a comprehensive examination immediately to make a correct judgment.

If children consume foods or medicines containing estrogen, it may cause breast enlargement. Among them, birth control pills are the most serious one. "If mothers take hormone-containing medications all year round, young children can easily absorb excessive amounts of estrogen through their mother's breast milk. Therefore, we also recommend that breastfeeding mothers use hormone-containing medications as little as possible." Doctors also specifically remind breastfeeding mothers not to use cosmetics during breastfeeding, especially cosmetics containing hormones or heavy metals, which can be passed to the baby through the mother's breast milk.

For children's precocious puberty, it is necessary to detect and treat it in time. If you want to detect precocious puberty, you can judge it by some symptoms. For example, some girls develop breasts and grow pubic hair prematurely, and some boys develop Adam's apples and grow body hair prematurely. These can be judged as precocious puberty. At this time, you must take your child to the hospital for examination in time.
