Question
My child has been crying and not eating much recently. Which department should I visit for a girl with precocious puberty?
Answer
A girl with precocious puberty can visit the pediatric or endocrinology department at the hospital. Generally, if a girl develops secondary sexual characteristics, such as breast development, axillary and pubic hair growth, menstruation, and rapid growth in height, before the age of 8, it may be considered precocious puberty. If you notice that your child has precocious puberty, it is best to go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis, and receive targeted treatment based on the examination results. Pay attention to your child’s balanced nutrition in daily life, avoid excessive nutrition, and eat fewer out-of-season foods and snacks.
