Question
I noticed a rice-grain-sized hard lump about four months ago… At 18 months old, I found out the hormone levels were high… MRI and ultrasound checks showed no issues! I want to know what’s the difference between early puberty caused by medication and food? How should it be treated and controlled?
Answer
If the early puberty is caused by medication or food, it can lead to premature growth and development in children. However, since the diagnosis of early puberty mainly relies on observation, it is difficult to determine the cause of the disease, as well as the reasons caused by food and medication. The main treatment method is to choose to use growth hormone to promote growth if there is a lack of growth hormone. At the same time, attention should also be paid to the presence of pituitary diseases.
