What are the dangers of true precocious puberty?

In fact, precocious puberty is an endocrine disease. Most patients with precocious puberty have always been girls. Generally, more than 90% of patients are girls. But this does not mean that boys will never suffer from this disease. There is still a 10% chance of suffering from the disease. However, most boys suffer from this disease due to malignant tumors. So what are the dangers?

Precocious puberty refers to the onset of any sexual characteristic 2 standard deviations earlier than the average age of the normal population. It is generally believed that girls who develop secondary sexual characteristics before the age of 11 or start menstruation before the age of 12, and boys who begin sexual development before the age of 13 can be diagnosed with precocious puberty.

Precocious puberty does not have a very precise boundary because sexual development is related to many factors and human growth and development is a continuous process.

Precocious puberty often affects the physical and mental health of adolescents, while their intellectual development is generally normal.

Women who experience early puberty are more likely to become targets of sexual assault or even become pregnant. Individual cases of precocious puberty do not rule out tumor factors. The harm is that if the child has precocious puberty, the child's bones will close early, affecting the child's height. Western medicine has side effects on children. Experts at Beijing Jinghai Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine recommend using traditional Chinese medicine to treat children's precocious puberty.

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.

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.

From the article, we have learned about the dangers of true precocious puberty. Once your child shows symptoms of precocious puberty, you can use Chinese medicine to treat the disease. You cannot sit idly by, otherwise the harm will be magnified.
