Question
My daughter is 10 years old, and recently while giving her a bath, I noticed a hard lump in her breasts, indicating signs of growth and development. I’m asking about the treatment for pediatric precocious puberty? Since she has had an allergy history since childhood, many foods are not allowed, and she has been supplementing with nutrients since a young age. She also doesn’t like eating egg-based foods.
Answer
A 10-year-old girl with a hard lump in her breasts indicates that breast development has begun, which is a normal phenomenon. It is not precocious puberty; this condition is considered precocious puberty if it occurs before the age of 8. As children gradually enter puberty, parents should pay more attention and avoid giving children fast food and hormone-containing foods. Encourage them to eat more foods rich in high-quality protein and consume more vegetables and fruits.
