What are the consequences of precocious puberty in children?

Many children are diagnosed with precocious puberty every day. When a child suffers from precocious puberty, parents should actively take treatment measures, because precocious puberty will cause great harm to the child. First of all, it will affect the child's physiology, and secondly, it will affect the child's psychology. Either of these two will be very bad for the child. So what are the consequences of precocious puberty?

Impact on the height of children: Children with precocious puberty will experience earlier closure of their epiphyses due to the early stimulation 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.

It can cause systemic endocrine disorders in children: Children with mild symptoms of precocious puberty mainly show imbalance in sex hormone levels, while children with severe symptoms will develop systemic endocrine disorders. For example, adrenal cortex dysfunction can cause systemic hirsutism or hair reduction, drying, or even loss in children; while thyroid dysfunction can cause symptoms such as thin and soft hair, premature graying, reduction or increase of hair.

What parents need to know about daily diet is that excessive calories will be converted into excess fat in children's bodies, causing endocrine disorders and leading to precocious puberty; moreover, after repeated heating and use, the high temperature will cause it to oxidize and denature, which is also one of the causes of "precocious puberty." Children who visit fast food restaurants more than twice a week and frequently eat fried and puffed foods are 2.5 times more likely to suffer from precocious puberty than normal children.

A large part of the reason why children suffer from precocious puberty is related to their daily diet. Children nowadays like to eat fried foods, such as French fries, hamburgers, etc. Many ingredients in these foods are more likely to cause children to have precocious puberty, so parents should pay more attention to their children's daily diet.
