Question
Two months ago, she kept telling me her breasts hurt, but I didn’t pay much attention. Recently, I noticed her breasts have started to develop. I checked her bone age and there was nothing wrong, but when I checked her venous blood, the estradiol level was [est] 36 ng. What could be the cause of this?
Answer
If girls show signs of sexual organ development before the age of 8 and boys before 9, it is considered early puberty. They can undergo tests for sex hormones, bone age, and growth hormone to rule out other conditions. For children with early puberty, it is important to provide timely sex education, proper psychological care, and take effective treatment measures. The ideal treatment for early puberty is to provide treatment based on the confirmed diagnosis and the underlying cause of the condition.
