Question
My child has been crying and refusing to eat recently. Do children with true precocious puberty need to be injected?
Answer
A child at the age of 13 showing signs of pubertal growth should have normal physiological growth. It does not belong to precocious puberty. Whether it is precocious puberty needs to be diagnosed after a thorough medical examination. If medication is required, it should also be confirmed based on the detailed examination results. True precocious puberty in girls refers to the appearance of secondary sexual characteristics before the age of 8, including breast development, underarm and pubic hair growth, menstruation, and reproductive organ development.
