Question
Where can I find a good place to see a pediatric precocious puberty specialist? My child is now 14 years old and recently I’ve noticed he often stays alone in the study room watching movies at night. I found a lot of tissues in the trash. My husband says the child might be precocious. We are in Feixi County and want to take our child to the hospital for a check-up. I’m not sure where to find a good place to see a pediatric precocious puberty specialist, as the child is still quite young, and I’m worried about his physical and mental health in the future.
Answer
If precocious puberty reoccurs, it’s best to take the child to a regular hospital for hormone six-item tests and receive appropriate medication treatment under a doctor’s guidance. Pay attention to ensuring the child gets enough sleep, avoid letting the child eat spicy or irritating food, do not take hormone medications, and avoid eating fatty meats and other foods. It’s recommended to let the child exercise appropriately, and at the same time, communicate more with your child, avoid scolding them.
