What are the dangers of precocious puberty in children?

Many parents are confused when they find that their children have precocious puberty, because they have no idea what the reasons are for their children's precocious puberty, so they don't understand the dangers of precocious puberty. Some parents don't even take their children's precocious puberty seriously, thinking that it has no effect on their children's normal development, and even that their children are taller than children of the same age. But in fact, precocious puberty will gradually harm their children's physical health, and generally speaking, it needs to be dealt with correctly and in a timely manner.

1. Some cases of precocious puberty are caused by tumors in the body. These tumors can secrete substances similar to sex hormones. Sometimes, when the tumor is still small, the amount of sex hormones it secretes is already large enough to cause sexual development. Therefore, children with precocious puberty must see a doctor in time and receive diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.

2. Children with idiopathic precocious puberty are affected by sex hormones in their bodies, which causes their physical growth to accelerate prematurely, epiphyseal fusion to occur early, growth period to be shortened, and growth to stop early, resulting in their final adult height being lower than that of children of the same age who are developing according to normal puberty.

3. Although children with precocious puberty develop their sexual characteristics earlier, their psychological and intellectual development levels are still at the actual age level. The premature appearance of sexual characteristics and development of reproductive organs can cause psychological disorders in immature children and bring many inconveniences to their lives. In severe cases, it can even affect their studies.

Precocious puberty is an abnormality of sexual development characterized by the early onset of sexual maturity. Precocious puberty Precocious puberty refers to the appearance of secondary sexual characteristics before the age of sexual development, namely breast development, pubic hair and axillary hair, rapid growth in height and weight, and development of external genitalia. The incidence of precocious puberty is approximately 0.6% among both male and female children, with females being more likely to develop the disease than males.

Children with precocious puberty will experience earlier closure of their epiphyses due to the early release of sex hormones, and their growth period will be shortened accordingly. Generally speaking, girls can only grow about 5 cm on average within 3 years after their menarche and boys can only grow about 5 cm on average within 3 years after their first nocturnal emission. Therefore, children with precocious puberty will eventually be shorter than their peers.

In fact, precocious puberty refers to the premature development of your child's sex hormones, so the harm can be imagined. Generally speaking, the incidence rate among girls is higher than that among boys. When so many girls have precocious puberty, their breasts will develop prematurely, which will cause their children to have menstruation early. Therefore, the psychological damage is also quite large, and autism is likely to occur.
