Question
Detailed Condition and Purpose of Consultation: Precocious Puberty Time of Onset and Duration: Current General Condition: My daughter is now over 11 years and one month old. A year ago, she showed signs of development and was prescribed Dabuyin Wan and Zhipei Dihuang Wan by a doctor, which seemed to work well. Last month, I stopped the medication, and after more than a month, I noticed that her development signs have become more apparent again. I had her bone age tested during the summer, and it was one year ahead. I would like to ask: Should my daughter continue taking the medication? Are there side effects from regularly taking these drugs? My daughter is currently 1.49 meters tall. Medical History:
Hello: How are the developments of other organs? Precocious puberty is mainly characterized by particularly early sexual development. If a girl shows breast development, pubic hair, or menstruation before the age of 8; or if a boy shows rapid testicular enlargement, pubic hair, and beard before the age of 10, it should be considered whether there is precocious puberty. Precocious puberty can be divided into true precocious puberty and false precocious puberty. False precocious puberty is mainly characterized by early development of sexual features, while true precocious puberty also involves early maturation of the reproductive glands (testes, ovaries). Regardless of the type, the common feature is the early and obvious development of sexual organs and secondary sexual characteristics.
Delayed puberty is the opposite of precocious puberty, with sexual organs, secondary sexual characteristics, and physical development occurring later than normal. Generally speaking, if sexual organs do not develop or secondary sexual characteristics do not appear after the age of 15 to 16, or if a girl has not had her first menstrual period by the age of 18, it should be considered whether there is delayed development.
