Questions
At what age do children enter the stage of precocious puberty, and is there a connection between it and their height development? What are the characteristic symptoms of precocious puberty?
Answers
It is generally believed that girls who develop secondary sexual characteristics before the age of 8 or start menstruating before 9 years old are diagnosed with precocious puberty. Similarly, boys who begin to develop sexual characteristics before the age of 9 are considered to have precocious puberty. There is no direct association between precocious puberty and height development. The typical feature of precocious puberty is the early appearance of secondary sexual characteristics. It is recommended to maintain a balanced diet, consume plenty of vegetables and fruits, take moderate amounts of meat and eggs, as well as dairy products.
