Symptoms of early development in little girls

For parents, their children's health is the most important and concerning thing. Medically, the sexual development period of boys and girls is usually divided into around eight to nine years old. However, with the continuous improvement of material living standards, children's nutritional supply has been fully met, and many children have shown signs of precocious puberty. For this reason, many parents are anxious. When girls experience precocious puberty, what specific symptoms will accompany it?

1. Can precocious puberty in girls be cured?

1. Precocious puberty is a relatively common symptom. If a girl has precocious puberty, it may lead to breast development and may also lead to a significantly advanced bone age. Patients with precocious puberty may experience rapid height growth in the early stages of the disease, accelerated bone age growth, and premature closure of the epiphysis, which may cause the child to be significantly short in height. Therefore, effective treatment should be carried out to avoid the child's inferiority complex.

2. Precocious puberty is a relatively common phenomenon. If a girl experiences precocious puberty, she must receive effective treatment to avoid great harm. Girls with precocious puberty may also experience premature ovarian development, which may affect women's health and fertility after adulthood. It may also lead to premature ovarian failure. If a girl experiences precocious puberty, it may lead to premature amenorrhea, which has a great impact on health.

Precocious puberty is a relatively common phenomenon, and as people's lives become irregular, the incidence rate may also increase. Therefore, it should be taken seriously. Girls with precocious puberty should receive effective treatment to prevent inferiority complex, which is also very good for the child's physical and mental health. They should have good living habits and regular diet, try to eat less out-of-season foods, and try to avoid the occurrence of precocious puberty.

2. What causes precocious puberty in little girls?

1. Environmental hormones at work

Substances discharged into the environment by detergents, pesticides and plastic industries and their decomposition products can produce a series of hormone-like pollutants in nature. If these pollutants are ingested by children, they can cause abnormal development of reproductive organs and bones.

2. Intake of health supplements

Some parents blindly give health supplements that can enhance appetite to children who don’t like to eat. However, health supplements that can increase appetite generally contain hormone ingredients. Long-term use can cause an increase in hormone levels in children’s blood, leading to precocious puberty.

3. Blindly taking supplements

The precocious puberty in children caused by this reason is more prominent in southern cities. Guangdong people like to make soup, and many people add animal offal when making soup. The animal's endocrine glands and other endocrine glands contain hormone substances that can enter the human body through meals.

4. Hormones Residues in Animals and Plants

Animal feed additives contain hormones, and the animals being raised will have hormone residues in their bodies. The meat products made from them will also have effects on children's bodies when they are eaten. In addition, most out-of-season vegetables and fruits are grown with hormones, and eating such fruits often is not good for children's health.

5. Premature psychological stimulation

With the popularization of television, VCD, etc., some children can be exposed to behavioral scenes that are beyond their psychological age through movies and TV shows at an early age. According to statistics, there are far fewer patients with precocious puberty in relatively closed areas than in open areas, there are significantly fewer patients in rural areas than in urban areas, and the age of menarche for rural girls is significantly later than that for urban girls. These are all clear evidence that psychological factors play a role.

6. Affected by certain diseases

Children may also experience precocious puberty due to some diseases (such as intracranial tumors, genetic factors, etc.). Therefore, parents should pay attention to the development of their children. Once they find that their children have secondary sexual characteristics prematurely, they should go to the endocrinology department for examination and treatment in time to avoid the development of the disease.

3. What are the dangers of precocious puberty in girls?

The first harm of precocious puberty in girls is that ovarian development has a certain regularity. The number of eggs a woman has in her lifetime is fixed, and her fertility only lasts for thirty to forty years. If the ovaries begin to develop and ovulate so early, the ovaries will have problems with premature aging in the future.

The second danger of precocious puberty in girls is that the early appearance of sexual characteristics is often accompanied by accelerated bone growth. They may temporarily appear to grow faster and taller than children of the same age, but because their epiphyses fuse in advance, their final height is often shorter than normal people, which is not conducive to the normal development of the child.

The third harm of precocious puberty in girls is that it will have a huge impact on the child’s entire life growth path. For example, it will make the child feel very inferior. Precocious puberty seriously affects children's physical and mental health. Due to early puberty and the early appearance of sexual characteristics, girls often develop breasts and even start menstruating when they are still in elementary school. At this time, the children's intelligence and sexual psychology are not yet mature, and they cannot take care of themselves completely, which can easily lead to various problems. Moreover, children with precocious puberty may feel fear and anxiety due to their different body shape from their peers, which may affect their normal life and study, and thus cause mental and care burdens for their parents.

The above is an introduction to the three major dangers of precocious puberty in girls. Now do you understand the dangers of precocious puberty? If you still want your child to stay away from precocious puberty and recover health as soon as possible, please take your child to the hospital for treatment in time. Only if parents are vigilant and strengthen prevention can they prevent their children from experiencing precocious puberty. Take the child to the hospital for treatment in time. I believe the child will be able to embrace a healthy and normal life as soon as possible.

4. What are the symptoms of precocious puberty in little girls?

Girls show signs of sexual maturity such as menstruation, breast development, and pubic hair growth before the age of 8 years or twice the standard deviation of the local mean age of menarche. It can be diagnosed as precocious puberty. Then determine whether it is true or false precocious puberty and find out the cause. First of all, we must rule out diseases that are more serious in harming the body, such as central nervous system diseases, ovarian and adrenal tumors, and vaginal bleeding caused by other non-endocrine abnormalities, such as inflammation, foreign bodies, trauma, or reproductive tract tumors. When collecting the medical history, we should ask whether the patient has accidentally taken birth control pills, whether breastfeeding mothers have taken birth control pills, whether the patient has consumed nutritional foods containing sex hormones, whether there has been a history of head trauma 1 to 2 months ago, whether there has been a history of birth trauma, convulsions, epilepsy, infection, etc., and whether there is a family history of precocious puberty. Understand the age of onset, speed of disease progression and growth status, whether there are headaches or visual impairments during the course of the disease, etc.

Special attention should be paid to the following during the physical examination: ① Record height (the ratio of upper to lower body), chest circumference, arm circumference, weight, pay attention to fat distribution, body shape, and record the stages of sexual characteristics development and the development of external genitalia. Generally, gonadal development is evaluated based on the assumption that breast development is approximately equivalent to a bone age of 11 years, and the onset of menstruation is approximately equivalent to a bone age of 13 years. ② The systemic examination should also pay attention to the specific signs of McCune-Albright syndrome, hypothyroidism, silver syndrome, etc., such as skin pigmentation and abnormal head shape, and pay attention to any signs of abnormal nervous system. When examining the skin, attention should be paid to changes in skin pigmentation, the presence of acne, hair growth, excessive sebum secretion, and masculinization. ③ Abdominal and pelvic examination, pay attention to the presence of abdominal pain, abdominal masses, etc.
