Question
What age does a girl normally reach the time of growth and development?
Answer
Generally speaking, girls around 8 years old and boys around 9 years old begin to show signs of sexual growth and development. Clinically, if diagnosed with precocious puberty, it can interfere with adult height. It is recommended that parents master relevant child-rearing knowledge, pay attention to children’s normal dietary decisions, and take their children to a regular hospital’s endocrinology department for sexual hormone level tests and ovarian color Doppler ultrasound examinations. Once diagnosed, treatment should be started early.
