Question
A 6-year-old girl is experiencing breast development and rapid growth, and her parents are seeking treatment advice.
Answer
According to general knowledge, if a girl shows signs of secondary sexual characteristics before the age of 8 or has her first menstrual period before 10, or if a boy starts sexual development before 10, it can be diagnosed as precocious puberty. If a child shows signs of precocious puberty, parents should relieve their concerns, determine the cause, and provide patient explanations to avoid putting psychological pressure on the child. At the same time, they should actively cooperate with doctors for detailed examinations and treatment. With appropriate treatment and management, children with precocious puberty can still develop normally and will not affect their future marriage and childbirth.
