Symptoms of precocious puberty in boys

With the gradual improvement of living standards, precocious puberty is becoming more and more obvious in modern children. Relatively speaking, the symptoms of precocious puberty in girls are more obvious than those in boys, while the symptoms of precocious puberty in boys are more difficult to see. So, in order to help parents detect the symptoms of their children's precocious puberty in time, we will now mainly introduce the symptoms of precocious puberty in boys.

Precocious puberty is a major feature of a child's growth process, and parents need to pay attention to it. The symptoms of precocious puberty in boys are relatively slow or not obvious, so parents need to have a deep understanding of the symptoms of precocious puberty in boys and detect them early.

Girls mainly experience breast development, which may be tender and they will tell their mothers that their chest hurts. In addition, there is development of external genitalia, increased vaginal secretions, growth of pubic hair, the onset of menstruation and the appearance of axillary hair. Menstruation begins with irregular vaginal bleeding and no ovulation, which gradually develops into periodic menstruation.

Symptoms of precocious puberty in boys include enlarged testicles and penis, the appearance of pubic hair, some beard and voice change, or penile erection and ejaculation.

Experts say that if a boy's testicles grow rapidly before the age of 9, and his external genitalia are like those of an adult; his bones develop prematurely, and he grows a beard, thick body hair, and pubic hair prematurely; and he has an enlarged Adam's apple, a low and rough voice, and acne on his skin; his areola becomes pigmented and enlarged; his nipples develop nodules and swelling; and he has sexual impulses towards the opposite sex, then he will be medically diagnosed as precocious puberty.

Some of the characteristics of precocious puberty in boys can be discovered by parents, such as whether they have beards, body hair, areola pigmentation and other external features, but other characteristics cannot be accurately judged by the naked eye or touch, such as the development of boys' testicles, adrenal cortex and other parts, which require professional examinations in the hospital to accurately determine.

To prevent children from precocious puberty, experts recommend not giving children supplements at will, eating a balanced diet, and eating less junk food; preventing children from coming into contact with drugs such as contraceptives; and trying to prevent children from coming into contact with pornographic information.

"Parents must pay attention to their children's precocious puberty." Experts say that under the action of sex hormones, although children grow rapidly in height, it also promotes premature fusion of the epiphyses, which causes the height growth of children to stop earlier than that of normally developing children. When they reach adulthood, they are shorter than normal people. At the same time, due to premature development, children will feel that they are different from their peers, which will have a great impact on their mental health.

Many parents do not easily notice or pay special attention to their children's precocious puberty, which may lead to some abnormal changes in the child's physical or mental state, which is not conducive to the child's healthy growth. Well, here are the specific symptoms of precocious puberty in boys. I hope parents can understand them and always pay attention to their children's healthy growth.
