Question
At the age of ten, a male child shows signs of secondary sexual characteristics, and parents are concerned about the cost of treating precocious puberty.
Answer
The primary sign of precocious puberty in male children is an enlarged testicle, a change often not easily noticed by parents until voice changes or the appearance of pubic hair, or when the child reports it himself, or even when breast development is noticed by the parents. The cost of treating precocious puberty varies from case to case, depending on the severity of the condition, so it is recommended to seek professional treatment as soon as possible.
