Question
My daughter is 10 and a half years old and has recently experienced vaginal bleeding. I am worried if she has entered puberty. I am asking if medication can be used to delay her menstrual cycle.
Answer
If you are concerned about your child’s puberty precocity, it is recommended to start by paying attention to diet, avoiding the intake of foods and health supplements containing large amounts of estrogen-like substances. In addition, social factors such as romance novels may also affect the development of the child’s glands. If the bone age exceeds the actual age, there may be signs of early puberty development. After a confirmed diagnosis of puberty precocity, medications such as Diphereline and Estracon can be used for treatment, along with growth hormone therapy. However, these medications should be used under a doctor’s guidance and not decided upon independently.
