What are the symptoms of precocious puberty?

Many children will have some symptoms of precocious puberty when they are young, especially some little girls, who will have menstruation at a very young age, early breast development, or boys will have secondary sexual characteristics such as premature beard growth. These situations should be taken seriously in time. It is very likely that it is precocious puberty. Precocious puberty has many harms to the human body. How should it be prevented?

The causes of precocious puberty include:

1. There has been some kind of brain disease. Sequelae such as tuberculous meningitis may cause adhesions in the hypothalamus at the base of the skull, which may lead to precocious puberty.

2. Craniocerebral trauma, such as skull base fracture and severe birth injury.

3. There is a family history.

4. Adrenal cortical hyperplasia, adrenal cortical tumors, gonadal function tumors, choriocarcinoma, etc. can all cause precocious puberty. The reason is that the lesions and tumors themselves can secrete gonadal hormones or promote the development of sex organs.

5. Children may develop exogenous precocious puberty by accidentally taking their mother's contraceptive pills.

Generally speaking, true or false precocious puberty caused by secondary hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal tumors cannot be prevented.

Precocious puberty can be completely prevented by exogenous estrogen or androgen intake. Parents should strictly manage medicines at home and keep children out of reach. They should also educate their children not to eat food given by strangers or unknown foods to avoid causing harm to their children.

Precocious puberty is an abnormality of puberty development characterized by the early onset of puberty characteristics. Children with precocious puberty have early epiphyseal fusion, shortened growth period, and early growth cessation, resulting in their final adult height being lower than that of children of the same age who develop according to normal puberty.

Dietary conditioning is one of the things that need to be paid attention to in precocious puberty. You must eat less artificially raised animals because they contain more hormones. You should also eat less out-of-season food and try to eat seasonal food. Children should also pay attention to their usual diet structure and not take too many supplements, otherwise it can easily lead to precocious puberty.
