What are the dangers of precocious puberty in boys?

Precocious puberty means that children under 10 years old will have some physical problems. For example, both boys and girls will have this phenomenon. The probability of boys having precocious puberty is lower than that of girls, because girls will have more obvious symptoms. Girls will develop breasts when they are about six or seven years old. If they have precocious puberty, their penis will become longer, their armpit hair will grow, and their pubic hair will develop. What are the dangers of precocious puberty?

Early treatment of dwarfism

A child's height at birth is generally around 50 cm. If it is less than 47 cm, it means that the child's development in the womb may be adversely affected; when the child is one year old, he or she is about 75 cm. From 2 to 12 years old, children grow at a rate of 5 to 7 cm per year. If the height at this stage does not meet the above standards, parents should go to the outpatient clinic for medical treatment as soon as possible. Once the epiphysis closes, it is impossible to grow taller.

Precocious puberty in boys is more harmful than in girls

Girls before the age of 8 begin to develop breasts, grow pubic and armpit hair, and have their first menstruation, which are all manifestations of precocious puberty. Precocious puberty shortens a child's growth period and ultimately impairs final adult height. It is understood that 80% to 90% of girls' precocious puberty is idiopathic, and the cause is basically unidentified. The only solution is early diagnosis and early treatment.

Precocious puberty in boys is relatively rare and more difficult to detect. Its main characteristics are the appearance of secondary sexual characteristics before the age of 10, such as enlarged testicles, penis, and growth of pubic and axillary hair. Data show that more than half of boys' precocious puberty is caused by tumors, which deserves close attention.

Obese children should not take diet pills

Due to the improvement of living standards, excessive eating and lack of exercise, there are more and more obese children in society. Experts warn that childhood obesity can be treated by taking oral medications to lower blood sugar and exercising more. Taking diet pills may have adverse effects on children's growth, development, and physiological functions.

Precocious puberty not only means that the child develops too fast, but also affects the child's height. The child's height is much shorter than that of ordinary people, and the time when the bones stop developing and aging is much earlier than that of ordinary people, so parents need to pay close attention to their children's diet, lifestyle and personal habits.
