Question

What are the signs of early puberty in children?

Answer

Early puberty can be divided into true early puberty and false early puberty. True early puberty refers to the hypothalamus being activated in the early stages of puberty, resulting in secondary sexual characteristics such as breast development and menstrual cramps. False early puberty only manifests as breast development, pubic hair growth, or menstrual cramps, without sexual gland development, ovulation, or fertility. If your child shows these symptoms, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly to avoid missing the best treatment window. The doctor will conduct a comprehensive check-up of the baby’s development to ensure everything is normal.
