Question
While giving my child a bath today, I noticed that their breasts are already beginning to grow and develop. After discussing it with friends, they suggested that this might be a sign of precocious puberty. Could you tell me about the treatment methods for pediatric precocious puberty? Where can I find the most renowned treatments? Is this considered a disease?
Answer
The primary approach to treating pediatric precocious puberty is through medication. Generally, cell repair type GnRHa preparations can be used. Additionally, it is necessary to check the bone age; if it is low, consideration should be given to administering some growth hormone injections. At the same time, your child should also be encouraged to be active, to inhibit the secretion of growth hormone, ensuring that their height is not disturbed. Otherwise, precocious puberty may result in a shorter stature.
