Question

According to the situation you described, an 8-year-old girl, 140 centimeters tall, weighing 27 kilograms, showing signs of breast development with prominent growth and no other signs of precocious puberty such as pubic hair or menstruation. She has never taken any supplements and does not usually consume hormone-containing foods like KFC or duck necks. How should treatment be conducted?

Answer

Based on the situation you described, the height and weight of this 8-year-old girl are normal when compared to children of the same age. The earliest organ of secondary sexual characteristics to develop in girls is the breast. If there is significant growth and hard lumps in the breasts, it may indicate that she is entering the stage of precocious puberty. To clarify whether there is a problem with precocious puberty, it is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for a hormone level check. The doctor will determine whether further treatment is needed based on the results of the examination. Please consult a professional doctor for more detailed advice.
