Question
The child is over 8 years old, with breast development. She started her period at 10 years and 2 months. The hospital checked her bone age as 12 years old, and the MRI of the skull showed no abnormalities in the pituitary gland. After tests and ultrasound, she was diagnosed with early puberty, which might prevent her from growing taller in the future. I don’t know how to treat it now, please ask an expert.
Answer
Hello, the child is already in the stage of sexual development, which is not considered early if it’s over 8 years old. You can try checking if traditional Chinese medicine preparations can regulate endocrine conditions. Don’t worry; children with early puberty can still develop normally and it won’t affect future marriage or childbirth. It is recommended to eat more green vegetables such as carrots, green leafy vegetables, and also to consume more water-rich fruits like oranges, watermelons, and peaches.
