Question
How old is the age of pediatric precocious puberty?
Answer
Precocious puberty is a sexual development disorder characterized by the early onset of sexual maturity. It manifests before the age of normal sexual development with secondary sexual characteristics, such as breast development, the appearance of pubic and armpit hair, as well as rapid growth in height and weight, and the development of external genitalia. Pediatric precocious puberty can be diagnosed and treated in pediatric healthcare or pediatric endocrinology departments. The initial screening method is to measure bone age. Please note that not all hospitals have this testing equipment, and you may need to go to a large, three-level A hospital for related examinations.
