Question
My daughter turned 10 this month and had her first menstrual period this month. Today, we checked her bone age at the hospital, and she has a 12-year-old bone age. Now she is 152cm tall. How should we treat precocious puberty?
Answer
Precocious puberty is somewhat related to genetics, and if the mother experienced it early, the daughter might show signs of it earlier as well, but it usually wouldn’t be this early. Dietary habits are closely related to precocious puberty; frequently consuming animal products, especially those containing high levels of hormones, may trigger this condition. It is recommended to change dietary habits, reduce the intake of animal products, and pay attention to the cleaning and disinfection of vegetables and fruits. Generally speaking, treatment at provincial hospitals is quite good, mainly through regulating endocrine function for the treatment process.
