Pediatric Early Puberty Screening Project?

Question

Pediatric Early Puberty Screening Project?

Answer

The early puberty screening project includes:

• Growth and Development Assessment: Evaluating a child’s height, weight, growth rate, and the development of secondary sexual characteristics.
• Bone Age Testing: Using X-rays to check a child’s bone age to understand the status of skeletal growth, determining if it is prematurely fused or in line with actual age.
• Reproductive Organ Examination: Using B-ultrasound to examine the development of reproductive organs, including whether the uterus and ovaries are in line with age, the presence of mature follicles or uterus, and tumors in other areas such as the adrenal glands.
