Question
My child is five years old and has started to develop breasts, showing high estradiol levels. The breast ultrasound indicates bilateral breast bud development, with normal ovaries. The doctor advised no medication is needed and a follow-up in three months. What should I be aware of in my child’s situation? Is it serious?
Answer
Children may prefer fatty and sweet foods, and some parents might overuse nutritional supplements and health products instead of providing them with normal food. This could be due to excessive pampering. For early development, we cannot yet determine whether it is early puberty or simply early breast development. To help adjust your child’s condition, consider supplementing with vitamin C and increasing protein intake, such as eggs, eels, black fish, sea turtle, yogurt, and milk. At the same time, please regularly check your child’s condition for follow-up.
