Question

A 8-year-old girl’s question: her breasts have developed, and there is a coin-sized hard lump under her breasts. Her left ovary measures 1.08x0.87, and her right ovary is 1.81x0.29. The child is 1.4 meters tall and weighs 72 jin.

Answer

Girls typically begin to develop breasts before the age of 7, and menstruation usually starts before the age of 9. When boys start sexual development before the age of 9, we refer to it as precocious puberty. For this condition, a comprehensive check of target conditions is required. If the bone age is not significantly advanced, it may be pseudo-precocious puberty, which can be temporarily not stimulated but requires regular follow-ups. If it is true precocious puberty, treatment usually involves injections of GnRHa.
