Question
A 2-year-old and 7-month-old girl has darkened areolas with hard nodules inside, vaginal discharge with discoloration and swelling, which was improved with the use of Huang Bai gynecological wash. The color is still slightly dark. Her bone age development is normal, with an enlarged uterus and thickened uterine lining.
Answer
60% of children suffer from pseudo-precocious puberty, so it is necessary for parents to differentiate between true and pseudo-precocious puberty. If a child experiences early puberty, parents should not worry too much. This precocious adolescence will resolve itself within a year. It is recommended to undergo hormone level tests at the hospital to determine if there is precocious puberty. Sexual development before the age of 10 can be diagnosed as precocious puberty, requiring pediatric consultation and medication under a doctor’s guidance.
