Question
The 9-year-old 8-month-old girl, standing at 1.36 meters tall, has begun breast development and had her first menstrual period. She has previously undergone treatment, receiving one injection of Dafilin. The doctor suggested receiving one injection every 4 weeks, initially for half a year, and consider increasing growth hormone if there is no increase in height.
Answer
The treatment plan prescribed by the doctor has been implemented, including Dafilin injections and a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine considers early puberty to be a condition of yin deficiency with excessive fire and liver stagnation leading to fire. The treatment plan is viable. In addition to medication, it is recommended to enhance nutrition, including consuming more lean meat, eggs, milk, fruits, etc., as appropriate. Moreover, it is suggested to strengthen physical exercise, participate in more recreational and sports activities, and communicate with classmates.
