Question
My child is 6 years old and has already started to develop. After a hospital check-up, the doctor said it was precocious puberty. I would like to ask what treatment methods are available for precocious puberty in children, whether it can be treated, and if there will be any sequelae after treatment.
Answer
At only six years old, if diagnosed with precocious puberty, it is necessary to intervene with medication. Because if we do not interfere with the child’s final height, it will be affected. The early physical maturation has a shadow on the child’s psychology. Timely treatment is very beneficial to the child’s physical and mental health. I hope my answer is helpful to you, and please leave me a message. Let’s make an adult height prediction to know how tall they can grow without treatment, so we can determine whether treatment is needed or develop a more reasonable treatment plan.
