Question
How effective is the treatment for precocious puberty?
Answer
The patient has been treated for precocious puberty at your hospital a year ago and has been taking Zhibai Dihuang Wan ever since. Recently, an increase in breast size has been noticed. The patient is eight years and one month old, weighing 30 kilograms, and standing 135 centimeters tall, with a significant reduction in endocrine secretions. In this situation, the first step is to control diet, maintain a light diet, avoid various stimulating foods, eat fewer snacks, consume more fruits and vegetables, drink plenty of water, and do not undergo any special treatments. It is then recommended to have regular check-ups because this age is relatively close to the onset of puberty, and no other special treatment is needed. It is suggested to undergo six sex hormone tests, pituitary MRI, bone age examination, and genital color Doppler examination to determine the cause of the disease.
