Question
I went to Ningbo Women and Children’s Hospital for a check-up today, and Dr. Luo told me my child has precocious puberty. He only did an ultrasound and prescribed Xijuecao Granules. I’m very anxious now and don’t know what to do. How should this condition be treated?
Answer
If you are diagnosed with precocious puberty, it is recommended to use a medication called growth hormone for treatment. Precocious puberty is an external influence on physical development caused by environmental factors, which is a common phenomenon in children. However, it will not affect the child’s future height development. I suggest you have your child undergo an internal growth hormone level check and a bone density test to further evaluate the treatment plan.
