Question
The child has been crying frequently lately and has a poor appetite. Is there a renowned hospital specializing in treating precocious puberty?
Answer
With the decline in living standards, early growth and development in young children is becoming more common. Girls showing secondary sexual characteristics before the age of 8 is a common sign of precocious puberty. Breast development and the onset of menstruation at the age of 10 is a normal physiological phenomenon. If you’re not sure, it’s advisable to go to the city women and children’s health care hospital’s pediatric department for a detailed examination and diagnosis. At the same time, attention should be paid to the child’s diet, reducing the intake of high-fat foods, and increasing the consumption of fresh vegetables and fruits.
