Question
If a child receives suppressive injection treatment for precocious puberty, how long after stopping the injection will menstruation usually resume?
Answer
Suppressive injections, also known as gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs, are used to inhibit gonadal development and delay bone maturation, thereby enhancing height after adulthood. Generally, such treatments need to be continued until around 12 years old. After stopping the suppressive injection, menstruation usually resumes within a week. However, continued use of suppressive injections may yield better results. It is recommended that parents refer to this information and pay attention to keeping their child warm in daily life, avoiding catching a cold.
