Question
A 9-year-old girl is experiencing signs of precocious puberty, with abnormally high estrogen levels and menstrual symptoms. Is this within the normal range? The levels of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone are also elevated. How should this be handled? Seeking assistance for the condition of precocious puberty.
Answer
According to the description, the normal age for a girl to start menstruating is typically between 12 and 13 years old. When a girl starts her period at 10, abnormally high estrogen levels may lead to the cessation of bone growth. It is recommended to seek hospital examination, especially for cases where symptoms of precocious puberty appear in girls aged 8 to 9 or even earlier, to ensure that bone growth is not affected.
