Question
My daughter is eight years old and shorter than her classmates. I’m worried she won’t grow tall. Although she consumes milk and calcium tablets, the effect is not significant. After medical examination, it was found that she has early puberty and advanced bone age issues. How should we handle early puberty and advanced bone age in children?
Answer
For children diagnosed with early puberty and short stature, further examination of growth hormone levels is necessary. If growth hormone deficiency is confirmed, growth hormone treatment may be required. At the same time, it can be combined with Zhipei Dihuang Wan, and dietary adjustments should be made to reduce the intake of puffed foods and estrogen-rich foods to avoid exacerbating the early puberty problem.
