Question
My daughter is 10 years old, 1.4 meters tall, and weighs 38 kilograms. I noticed that her breasts are slightly swollen and there is a hard lump in her left chest, which is painful to the touch. She has been growing rapidly recently, and had her first menstrual period in mid-August. We haven’t gone to a regular hospital for a check-up yet. The doctor said it might be precocious puberty, and she has been drinking milk in a fixed amount every day.
Answer
At 10 years old, 1.4 meters tall, and weighing 38 kilograms, with slightly swollen breasts and rapid growth, and having her first menstrual period, these cannot be used as the basis for diagnosing precocious puberty. Guidance: Based on your description, you cannot conclusively diagnose precocious puberty. Currently, many girls aged 9 to 10 are having their first menstrual period. Your daughter is just a bit taller, which may also be related to her parents’ height. Don’t worry too much. If you’re still not sure, it’s best to go to a regular hospital.
