Answer
Precocious puberty refers to the appearance of secondary sexual characteristics before the age of sexual development, including breast development, the growth of pubic and armpit hair, rapid growth in height and weight, and the development of external genitalia. If a child’s chest begins to develop, it may be related to precocious puberty. It is not only hormone drugs that can cause precocious puberty; some nutritional supplements such as royal jelly, pollen preparations, and chicken embryos may also trigger it. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid giving these supplements to children. It is recommended to take children to a regular hospital for consultation, undergo a detailed examination, and then receive symptomatic treatment.
