Question
After being diagnosed, medication has had no effect, and I still feel uncomfortable. How can I effectively deal with my child’s precocious puberty problem?
Answer
A diagnosis of precocious puberty in girls can be made when secondary sexual development appears before the age of 8. Of course, if growth development occurs again at the age of 10, with a predicted height being lower, a preliminary diagnosis of secondary sexual development can be made, and medical intervention is recommended. It is best to undergo detailed bone age examination and adult height prediction to know how tall one can grow without treatment, which will then enable one to understand the need for treatment or to develop a more appropriate treatment plan. In addition to treating the symptoms of children’s precocious puberty, patients should also pay attention to diet, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in more outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should pay attention to seeking treatment at a regular hospital to ensure good treatment outcomes.
