Will precocious puberty affect a child's height?

Nowadays, many children suffer from precocious puberty, which makes many parents worried. First, they worry that their children's psychology will be affected, and second, they worry that their children's precocious puberty will affect their height. Precocious puberty is particularly harmful to children, so we must pay attention. So, will precocious puberty affect children's height? Let's learn more about it through the following article.

Many studies have shown that the height of children with precocious puberty will be significantly affected during their growth process. Generally, girls' height will not reach 150 cm after adulthood, while boys' height will not exceed 160 cm. The problems caused by height issues in their further education, employment and marriage are very obvious. Generally speaking, we believe that the earlier the body matures, the earlier the phenomenon of height growth will stop. Studies have found that if development is one year earlier, there will often be a loss of about 5 cm in height, and girls basically lose the opportunity to grow taller after 1-2 years of menstruation or boys have nocturnal emissions. Many parents mistakenly believe that menstruation is a sign of the beginning of puberty. In fact, medicine believes that menstruation often means that puberty development is nearing its end, and it will be too late if it is not treated at this time.

In fact, precocious puberty during adolescence is accompanied by accelerated growth in children's height. These children may look taller than their peers at the beginning, but this is only a short-term phenomenon. Under the early stimulation of sex hormones, the closure of the epiphysis will be greatly advanced, and the growth period will be shortened accordingly. That is, the long bone shaft and the epiphysis will fuse prematurely and stop growing. Generally speaking, the average penis length of a girl can only be about 5 cm within 3 years after her menarche and that of a boy can only be about 5 cm within 3 years after his first nocturnal emission. Therefore, the final height of children with precocious puberty will be shorter than that of their peers.

After the introduction, everyone has a clear understanding of whether children's precocious puberty will affect their height. In fact, there are many factors that affect height in life, and we must try our best to avoid them. Especially after children have precocious puberty, we must actively treat them with our children. It is also important to adjust their lives while undergoing treatment.
