Question

What are the side effects of early puberty treatment medications? I’m really worried that my sister might have Sequelae, I hope someone can explain it to me, and I appreciate it here first.

Answer

  1. Girls with early puberty may experience pseudo-menstruation.
  2. During treatment, the rate of height growth may slow down.
  3. There may be pain at the injection site.
  4. After discontinuing medication, the child’s gonadal development will gradually return to normal.
  5. There have been no reported side effects affecting fertility.
  6. Long-term use of medications for treating early puberty may suppress the production of sex hormones by the pituitary gland, controlling the progression of the condition, but it may also accelerate ossification fusion, limiting height growth.
  7. Additionally, long-term medication use may damage liver function, lead to obesity, and trigger hypertension.
