Question
My daughter is 10 years and 2 months old and started showing signs of menstruation this morning. Is this a sign of precocious puberty?
Answer
Hello, according to your description, a 10-year-old girl starting menstruation at 10 years and 2 months is on the early side of normal, with a height of 153 centimeters also within the normal range, usually requiring no treatment. It is recommended to engage in more physical activities, consume more dairy products, and maintain a balanced diet. After the first menstruation, the child may still grow another 7 centimeters. Precocious puberty is often a concern for parents, and in treatment, general treatment methods are usually adopted. Only by using professional treatment methods can parents quickly help their child recover from the disease without affecting their growth and development. Therefore, when children show symptoms of precocious puberty, parents should take action promptly to help their child recover.
