Question
What symptoms are associated with girls’ early puberty?
Answer
If a girl shows signs of secondary sexual characteristics before the age of eight, a clinical diagnosis of precocious puberty will be made. Symptoms of precocious puberty include: 1. Breast development. Flat chest with breast buds appear, followed by further growth and development of the breast buds, forming regional protrusions like small hills, with the areola and nipple gradually shrinking. 2. Reappearance of pigmentation on the external genitalia, secretion, and growth of pubic hair. 3. Fat accumulation in the buttocks and legs again. 4. Growth of armpit hair, sudden growth spurt, and the onset of menstruation. If these symptoms appear, it is recommended that parents seek medical attention promptly and actively pursue diagnosis and treatment. Early onset of secondary sexual characteristics and reproductive organ growth can lead to psychological disorders in immature children, and in severe cases, even interfere with daily life.
