What to do if you discover your child is having precocious puberty

After precocious puberty occurs, parents will feel that their children are different from before. If it is a girl, her breasts may become excessively enlarged, or even have menstruation before the age of 8. Boys may have a hoarse voice, and some patients may develop Adam's apples. These are a series of common symptoms of precocious puberty in children. Parents must insist on taking their children for treatment. If they give up treatment, their children's breasts will continue to develop.

If a girl develops breast enlargement and menarche before the age of 8, or a boy develops secondary sexual characteristics such as armpit hair, Adam's apple, and deepening voice before the age of 9, it may indicate precocious puberty. In this case, the child should be taken to the hospital for early treatment. For cases like Yiyi, continuous treatment can generally achieve the expected results. Even if there is no money to continue the treatment, even one or two years of treatment can slow down the condition. If treatment is not given up, Yiyi's breasts will continue to develop, and she may show signs of premature aging in a few years.

The so-called precocious puberty refers to the appearance of secondary sexual characteristics in girls before the age of 8 and in boys before the age of 10, such as breast development, growth of pubic and axillary hair and menarche in little girls, or enlarged testicles and penis, growth of pubic and axillary hair, penile erection and even ejaculation in little boys.

To be precise, precocious puberty is an endocrine disease. So far, more than 90% of the cases of precocious puberty admitted to most hospitals are girls. Of course, this does not mean that boys have a gender advantage in this disease. On the contrary, among the only 10% of precocious boys, most are caused by tumors, which requires parents to pay more attention. Of course, there are many aspects of the harm of precocious puberty in children, and for the children themselves

Although children with precocious puberty develop their sexual characteristics earlier, their psychological and intellectual development level is still at the actual age level. The premature appearance of sexual characteristics and development of reproductive organs can cause psychological disorders in immature children. In particular, seeing that their own sexual traits are different from those of people around them can easily cause children to feel inferior. This kind of mentality is likely to leave sequelae in their adulthood.

Therefore, precocious puberty is actually an endocrine disease. The reason why children suffer from precocious puberty is that their endocrine system becomes imbalanced. Because their physiological system has not yet developed fully, there is no way to directly improve their endocrine system. Then, premature development will cause very serious psychological barriers to children who have not yet matured, so drug and physical treatment methods are necessary.
