What to do if a boy develops early

The biggest difference between boys and girls is that boys are active, difficult to manage, and develop physically faster. If a boy is found to have a beard and obviously enlarged testicles before the age of ten, this is a phenomenon of precocious puberty. Parents should not be overly nervous, do not give their children too many supplements in daily life, let nature take its course, go to the hospital to check whether other functions are normal, and spend more time with their children. Let me introduce it in detail below.

1. What are the signs of early development in boys?

Experts point out 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 the 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 and other physical characteristics. Some family fires are difficult to detect, such as the growth of the testicles, emotions towards the opposite sex, etc. Therefore, the only scientific way to determine whether a boy has precocious puberty is through bone age testing.

2. What to do if a boy develops prematurely

To prevent children from precocious puberty, experts suggest not to give children supplements at will, to eat a balanced diet, and to eat less junk food; to prevent children from coming into contact with drugs such as contraceptives; to try to prevent children from coming into contact with pornographic information; to try to take time to spend more time with children, develop their interests and hobbies, and focus their time and energy on things that interest them. Once a problem is discovered, seek medical attention promptly and, with the help of a doctor, help your child recover as quickly as possible.

Generally speaking, if precocious puberty occurs, the signs of early development in boys are very obvious. Parents need to pay more attention to their children, talk to them more often, know what they are thinking, and guide them in time to avoid making their children feel that they are different from other children due to precocity, which would cause unnecessary psychological burden. For young children, timely intervention in precocious puberty can be very effective.
