Precocious puberty can be categorized into central precocious puberty (GnRH-dependent precocious puberty, true precocious puberty, complete precocious puberty) and peripheral precocious puberty (pseudo-precocious puberty) and partial precocious puberty. The clinical manifestations are characterized by the following:
1. Menstruation first but other signs appear later: secondary sexual characteristics include many symptoms, including breast development, height growth rate surge, pubic hair development, etc. Generally, the menarche is presented 2 years after the breasts begin to develop, but there are individual differences, there may be children who menstruate first and then other signs appear, and we should also closely observe the child’s physical development.
2. Simple early menarche: it is part of precocious puberty, in addition to simple early breast development, early adrenal function, simple early pubic hair, etc. Most of the cases will be cured by themselves, but the child’s physical development should be closely monitored. Most of the cases will be cured by themselves, but a small number of cases will develop into central precocious puberty. It is important to monitor the child closely and go to the hospital for regular checkups.
In conclusion, if you find that your child has symptoms of precocious puberty, it is recommended that you go to a regular hospital in a timely manner to improve the examination and make a clear diagnosis, so as to avoid delaying the stage of the disease.
