Question
Does early breast development in girls require treatment?
Answer
The diagnosis of precocious puberty involves comprehensive checks, including secondary sexual characteristics, bone age, and basal body temperature, to determine whether it is true or false precocious puberty. True precocious puberty may be accompanied by ovulation, menstruation, and fertility, while false precocious puberty only involves the early development of secondary sexual characteristics. After a confirmed diagnosis, the treatment plan will be determined based on the cause and severity, which may include medication or surgical intervention.
