Question
Your child has been crying and fussing a lot lately, and they’re not eating much. What are the characteristics of precocious puberty?
Answer
A 16-year-old boy experiencing this situation is not suffering from precocious puberty; it’s a normal occurrence of seminal emission. Precocious puberty refers to the early physical growth and development in children under the age of 9. Boys with precocious puberty may exhibit prominent mustaches, an enlarged Adam’s apple, a deepening voice, seminal emission, and the appearance of pubic hair. The scrotum and penis will also gradually develop.
