Question
My daughter is 8 years and 8 months old, and her right breast has already started developing. Her bone age is 10.4 years; is this true precocious puberty? I have hyperthyroidism, which was treated with 131Iodine, and I became hypothyroid after that. I also had lead poisoning when I was pregnant.
Answer
Based on the information you’ve provided, it seems that your daughter may have precocious puberty. This condition at her age is often related to external environmental factors and dietary structure. We recommend maintaining a light diet in Taiwan, consuming more vegetables and fruits, and supplementing with appropriate nutrition. Additionally, if necessary, she can take some oral medication such as Zhidaihuang Wan in moderation. We will continue to monitor and adjust the treatment plan to aim for a return to normalcy.
