Question

My child is now 8 years old and has breast development. We should be aware of the possibility of early puberty.

Answer

Children may need to be monitored for early puberty. It’s advisable to first go to the hospital for a sexual hormone stimulation test to determine if early puberty is present. If diagnosed with early puberty, a treatment plan should be developed. Additionally, there are many factors that can cause endocrine diseases in children. If a child is diagnosed with an endocrine disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for active treatment and pay attention to the child’s diet and hygiene habits.
