Side effects of precocious puberty treatment

With the improvement of people's living standards and the rapid development of Internet communication, many experts have found that children nowadays are maturing more and more precociously. Precocious puberty is not only reflected in the child's physical development, but also in the child's psychological state. When parents find that their children have a tendency towards precocious puberty, they often take some methods to treat precocious puberty. In fact, the treatment of precocious puberty also has some side effects.

First of all, this injection that inhibits the secretion of sex hormones is very expensive, costing about 1,700 to 2,000 yuan per injection, and it needs to be given every 28 days. However, the injection time varies depending on the child's situation. The injection of this drug can delay the development of precocious children, mainly because it can effectively delay the time of bone maturation. However, this drug basically needs to be used continuously for about two years to be effective, otherwise it will have no effect at all. In clinical practice, this kind of medicine will only be used for children after a doctor has strictly examined and confirmed that they are suffering from precocious puberty. However, many children nowadays do not have precocious puberty, but are just developing early, and their parents are anxious for doctors to prescribe this kind of injection for their children, which is a bit excessive. This injection also has side effects. If used on children whose precocious puberty is not severe, it may even cause calcium deficiency, obesity, etc.

Secondly, children nowadays generally develop earlier, and there are two main reasons leading to children's precocious puberty: one is the love scenes in electronic media that are not suitable for children, and the open information related to "sex" in the entire social environment; the other is improper eating habits. Allowing children to watch TV series about love between men and women too early will give them an advanced "love enlightenment" and stimulate the secretion of pituitary hormones; consuming nutritional supplements, off-season vegetables, etc. too early will lead to excessive intake of hormones and affect the normal development of children.

Furthermore, the most direct impact of precocious puberty is that the child's bone age develops early, resulting in short stature. Precocious puberty needs to be strictly examined. If the child is only one or two years ahead of the normal development age, there is no need to worry too much, because most precocious puberty is simple and false. As long as parents pay attention and seek medical treatment in time, it will not cause serious consequences. But if it is really precocious puberty, it needs to be taken seriously, because precocious puberty will bring about a series of impacts, such as personality depression, endocrine disorders, and early sexual behavior.

In addition, compared with girls' precocious puberty, boys' precocious puberty is more likely to be ignored by parents. It is relatively easy to detect early development in girls. Parents can usually tell when they are bathing their children through phenomena such as slightly bulging breasts or pain when the breasts are touched. However, boys' precocious puberty is often not visible on the surface. It is difficult for parents to discover it at the beginning. By the time their voices change, they have reached the middle and late stages of development. In daily life, parents should pay more attention to whether their children develop secondary sexual characteristics too early. A sudden acceleration in a child's height growth before the age of 10 is often a sign of precocious puberty.

The above introduction is about injections for children with precocious puberty. I believe everyone understands it. It is recommended that you do not blindly treat your children. To prevent children from precocious puberty, doctors recommend that parents take their children for regular physical examinations. If you find any abnormality in your child, it is best to treat it in time. I wish you good health.
