Question
My child is less than 7 weeks old and has developed breasts, indicating precocious puberty. What should I do if the left nipple pucks inward?
Answer
Hello! Your child, who is less than 7 weeks old, has experienced breast development, which is a sign of precocious puberty. Precocious puberty can be classified as either true or false. False precocious puberty is often caused by external factors, such as dietary and environmental stimuli. Once these external factors are removed, the condition can resolve or disappear on its own. True precocious puberty requires medical intervention and treatment, as well as identifying the cause. For false precocious puberty, traditional Chinese medicine can be taken to promote the regression of breast lumps. In addition to ultrasound, tests for bone age and body hormone levels are necessary, and a pituitary gland examination may be required if needed. Timely consultation with a specialist is recommended when necessary.
