Question
My daughter is 6 and a half years old and has developed breasts on both sides with tenderness. What treatment has been received and what are the expected outcomes? How should we arrange her diet?
Answer
Girls are considered to have precocious puberty if they show signs of sexual development before 8 to 8.5 years old, and boys before 10 years old. Many factors influence child development, including race, genetics, climate, nutrition, and diseases, which also play a significant role. Therefore, individual differences in child development can be quite large. With the development of the economy, puberty is also advancing earlier.
