Question
About a friend’s child who suddenly started menstruating in elementary school, which seems to be a symptom of precocious puberty. How should it be effectively treated?
Answer
The best treatment methods include: 1. Using gonadotropin-releasing hormone drugs, 2. Taking progestin derivatives to repeatedly inhibit the pituitary gland from producing sex hormones, 3. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment, and 4. Growth hormone. It is suggested that in most cases, this is a false precocious puberty caused by excessive nutrition, and parents need to pay attention to their child’s daily care to avoid precocious puberty.
