What are the symptoms of precocious puberty in children?

Parents are increasingly worried about children nowadays, not only in terms of their physical and living aspects, but more importantly, it concerns their children’s dietary health. Many parents always find that children nowadays are relatively early in puberty, which is mostly a manifestation of precocious puberty. If parents do not actively discover it, then the best time to treat their children will be delayed. So what are the manifestations of precocious puberty in children?

Children nowadays are making parents less and less reassured. Not only are they mentally precocious, but they are also physically precocious. When you see a beautiful girl with a plump figure, you find that she is just a primary school student. When you hear that a boy molested a girl, you find that "the boy" is not even 10 years old. Maybe you are wondering what makes today's children so "mature". Maybe no one would have thought that the answer would be an emotional drama!

6-year-old girl has protruding breasts, her bone age is already 8 years old

It turned out that when the mother was bathing her 6-year-old daughter Xiaolian a few days ago, she found lumps under her chubby daughter's breasts. Worried that the child had developmental problems, the mother and father took leave to take Xiaolian to the hospital yesterday morning. After taking X-rays and doing blood tests, the doctor discovered that Xiaolian's bone age was already eight years old. After ruling out adrenal, thyroid and other tumors, the doctor determined that the child had central precocious puberty, meaning that the main cause of the child's precocious puberty was diet, environment and other factors.

The parents were naturally in a bad mood because their daughter was sick, but the fuse that made them suddenly angry was a word from the doctor. The doctor said that based on Xiaolian’s current physical condition, if she does not receive immediate treatment, she may not grow to 1.5 meters in height.

Xiaolian's father is at least 1.75 meters tall, and her mother is about 1.65 meters tall wearing high heels. When they heard that their daughter was not growing taller, their faces changed and they were immediately annoyed. The first to get angry was the father. He threw the report into the mother's hand and said, "You take her to watch Korean dramas about love and romance all day long, and you also put makeup on her eyebrows. Your child is giving you 'love enlightenment' so early. You like to eat fried chicken and hamburgers, and you take your daughter to eat them. I told my daughter that eating only chicken legs would cause malnutrition, but you stewed pigeon soup for her, and gave her high calcium tablets and vitamins. Look at what you have gained from eating them."

Watching romantic dramas and taking health supplements can lead to premature puberty

The mother was blamed in front of the father, but she was not willing to be outdone: "Don't you have any responsibility? Am I the only one who spoils your child? I only buy out-of-season fruits for your child, strawberries and grapes in winter, oranges in spring, and you take your child to eat duck necks. I heard that duck necks contain hormones, but you didn't believe it. Now you blame me? Am I the only one who raises my daughter?" The couple's voices got a little higher, and there was a sense of tension.

Xiaolian raised her little face, pulled her mother's skirt and said, "Don't quarrel in the hospital," like a little adult.

Xiaolian's parents softened their tone and turned their eyes to the doctor. Who was the culprit for Xiaolian's precocious puberty? The doctor gave them answers one by one.

Influenced by the modern lifestyle, the main reasons that affect children's premature and rapid development include food, sex education, living habits, living environment, etc. Doctors say that some adult plots on television do cause visual stimulation to children, thereby affecting their pituitary endocrine system and leading to precocious puberty. Foreign researchers have also found that long-term exposure of children to artificial light sources such as television may lead to precocious puberty, including an earlier age of premarital pregnancy.

Secondly, high-hormone foods can also cause children to have precocious puberty. But most of these are health products. Although off-season fruits contain plant hormones, it is rare for them to cause precocious puberty in children.

Most cases of precocious puberty are closely related to poor diet. For example, eating KFC for a long time, or eating meat for a long time. Meat contains relatively high levels of hormones, so children are more likely to suffer from precocious puberty. Therefore, parents must pay more attention to their children in life. Do not supplement their children with large amounts of nutrients, but should supplement them according to the child's height development proportion.
