Question
As children approach adolescence, you may notice breast shrinkage with hard lumps and white discharge. Is it precocious puberty? How should it be treated, and which clinic should you visit?
Answer
Dear parents, pay close attention to the following subtle signs in your daughter if you notice them: breast pain, palpable nodules; breast appearance with bulging or nipple thinning, or color change; pubic hair; a small amount of vaginal discharge; and rapid growth spurt. Hello. She has shown signs of puberty (breast development) before the age of 8, indicating precocity. However, it is crucial to differentiate between the types of precocity before determining the appropriate treatment. Therefore, it is recommended that you visit a pediatric endocrinology specialist. After the specialist examines your child, they will decide whether further detailed examination is needed or if careful observation is sufficient.
