Question
The child has been crying non-stop lately and doesn’t eat much. Which department should we visit for early puberty?
Answer
Is it time to see an endocrinology department? For female early puberty, it is necessary to check for sexual hormone secretion, gynecological ultrasound, bone age, and growth hormone levels. If diagnosed with early puberty, medication is usually required to suppress gonadal development, and it is also recommended to exercise more to promote the secretion of growth hormone, as early puberty may affect height development and lead to stunted growth. Therefore, early intervention can reduce the impact on height.
