Question
My child has been crying and not eating much lately. How is a precocious puberty induction test conducted?
Answer
Precocious puberty refers to the early onset of puberty growth and development, which occurs during the second normal adolescent growth spurt, typically at an age two standard deviations above the average. Any growth and development of secondary sexual characteristics at this time is considered precocious puberty. Generally, boys are considered to have precocious puberty if they experience adolescent growth and development before the age of 9. This involves using hormones to stimulate a test, which is significant for distinguishing between central and peripheral precocious puberty. It generally has no significant adverse effects on the body, and the body will return to its normal state after stopping the medication. The induction test for precocious puberty involves blood testing for sex hormones. It has no impact on the child’s body.
