Question
My child has been crying and fussing a lot recently, and doesn’t eat much. Can the symptoms disappear three years after receiving puberty suppression injections?
Answer
Puberty suppression injections are a type of hormonal medication that can have certain effects on a child’s hormone levels and sexual development, as well as on their physical condition. The recurrence of precocious puberty may be due to a disease change caused by a pituitary gland abnormality. It is best for the patient to first undergo a CT scan of the pituitary gland to understand how pituitary inflammation can lead to additional tumor-like inflammatory changes.
