Precocious puberty is the growth and development of secondary sexual characteristics in girls before the age of eight, the onset of menstruation before the age of nine, and the premature development of the body’s reproductive glands, leading to a halt in growth but an immature mental state, which may trigger social problems and affect growth and development. This condition usually requires medication treatment, using Daphilin to suppress precocious puberty.
The child is 8 years and 3 months old, with a height of 129.1cm and a weight of 25.2kg. One month ago, the child experienced pain in the right breast, with a hard lump upon palpation. Two weeks ago, pain in the left breast also appeared, but no pubic hair or leukorrhea has been observed yet. Consulted at Fuzhou Children’s Hospital, an X-ray of the bone age was taken, and it was assessed to be 9.7 years old, with a predicted height of 152cm ± 5cm. The test results for sex hormones were LH 0.60, FSH 5.26. After the gonadotropin-releasing hormone stimulation test at 30 minutes, LH was 12.6 and FSH was 19.2. The doctor at the children’s hospital diagnosed true precocious puberty, as the predicted height exceeds 150cm but does not meet the criteria for short stature, and recommended observation. The doctor at the Provincial Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital suggested immediate intervention treatment.
