Question
Hello, I’ve been chatting with my sisters recently, and we mentioned a child’s precocious puberty. How can one predict if a child is experiencing precocious puberty? What are the characteristics of precocious puberty? What should be done if a child shows signs of precocious puberty again? And how should one guide the child?
Answer
Hello, friend, I’m glad to be able to answer these questions for you. In general, precocious puberty refers to the age range between ten and eighteen. For girls, this may include the recurrence of menarche, increased body hair, denser pubic hair, and more pronounced breast development, all of which are signs of precocious puberty. For boys, the recurrence of a weakened Adam’s apple, deepening voice towards adulthood, increased body hair, the reappearance of pubic hair, and frequent erections are specific manifestations of precocious puberty. If a child shows signs of precocious puberty again, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and have a doctor assess and treat the condition. In guiding the child, it is important to follow the doctor’s advice, provide appropriate diet and living environment, maintain good mental health, conduct regular health checks, and maintain close communication with the doctor to ensure that the child receives appropriate support and assistance.
