Question
A 6-year-old girl enjoys eating fatty meat and freshwater fish. She experienced a similar situation in 2015, when the doctor prescribed Chinese medicine for treatment, and she recovered. What could this indicate?
Answer
Girls who develop breasts before 8 years old or start menstruating before 10 years old should be considered for precocious puberty. If corresponding symptoms appear, it is recommended to check hormone levels in the blood, and consider tests such as sexual hormone levels, pituitary MRI, bone age, and reproductive organ ultrasound to clarify the cause of treatment.
