What are the dangers of precocious puberty in children?

As foreign fast food has continued to infiltrate our lives in recent years, many parents take their children to eat it in order to keep up with the trend. However, these fried fast foods are not only not nutritious, but many of the hormone-containing foods in them will promote children's early development, leading to precocious puberty in children, making it very likely that they will not grow tall. Therefore, we must pay attention to it. So what are the dangers of precocious puberty in children? Parents and friends, please join me in today's study.

Causes psychological disorders in children

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 the people around them can easily cause children to feel inferior. This kind of mentality is likely to leave sequelae in their adulthood.

Affects children's reading and learning

The emergence of sexual characteristics and the development of reproductive organs will definitely make children distracted, uneasy, shy and nervous. At the same time, girls' bodies develop too early, and they are unable to deal with the impact of menstruation on their lives, which brings many inconveniences to their lives, which is bound to affect children's reading and learning.

Affects the height of children

Children with precocious puberty will experience earlier closure of their epiphyses due to the early release 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.

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, and reduction or increase of hair.

The above paragraphs show us the various dangers of precocious puberty in children. I hope that parents and friends can pay more attention to it and be vigilant, and change some lifestyles that may easily lead to precocious puberty in children, so that children can grow up healthily and happily. Therefore, parents should not always play games online in their free time, but should pay more attention to and accompany their children.
