Question
How should male precocious puberty be handled? What treatment options are available?
Answer
The incidence of male precocious puberty is relatively low and is often associated with abnormal central nervous system conditions, particularly brain tumors. Therefore, for the treatment of male precocious puberty, it is first necessary to determine the cause. If it is caused by a brain tumor, it is necessary to perform tumor resection surgery and receive corresponding treatment after surgery. Treatment before excluding brain tumors is limited in effectiveness. If a true case of precocious puberty is diagnosed and brain tumors have been ruled out, medication to suppress gonadotropin activation should be used for treatment.
