”What should I do if my child develops early, does he or she have some disease?” First of all, a formal consultation is needed to clarify the diagnosis. Precocious puberty refers to the early appearance of secondary sexual characteristics, divided into central and peripheral , also known as true and false. There are many diseases such as intracranial tumors, hypothyroidism, ovarian tumors, etc. that can cause precocious puberty, so if you find that your child has early sexual signs, you need to seek regular medical attention first. The doctor will be able to distinguish the type and determine the cause of the disease by combining information such as medical history, specialized physical examination, bone age development index, and hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis function index. Central precocious puberty in which no organic pathology is found is called idiopathic. ”Precocious puberty in a child, what are the risks for her?” The greatest danger is that it affects adult height and leads to short stature. The appearance of secondary sexual characteristics means that sexual development has begun, and sexual development is linked to bone development, so once sexual development begins, bone growth begins to accelerate, and the older the bone age, the less room for growth. Although the affected child is temporarily taller than children of the same age, once the bones fuse early, they will never grow taller, so the final height often does not reach the genetic height. Children who are not genetically tall are even less taller as adults. In addition, premature breast development and even menstruation can be a psychological shock to the child, causing social problems. ”It turns out that with precocious puberty, the size will be short instead, so is there any way to save it? Does precocious puberty necessarily need treatment? Is it possible to apply herbal medicine?” It varies from person to person, with the improvement of adult height as the core. If precocious puberty is detected early, it is perfectly possible to control it, but if it is delayed too long, or the child is too old, or the sexual development is nearly mature, the best time for treatment is lost and the effect is poor. In the early stage of precocious puberty, regardless of whether it is central or peripheral, traditional Chinese medicine can be used, which has various effects. Firstly, it can effectively control the development, so that the hard nodes of breasts can be reduced or disappeared, the vulvar discharge can be reduced or disappeared, and the growth of bones can be slowed down, so as to win time for growing taller; secondly, it can improve the appetite, so as to win the material basis for growing taller; thirdly, it can improve sleep, so as to facilitate the secretion of growth hormone, so as to win power for growing taller. When the affected children reach the normal development age, they will change to the development-promoting herbs to seize the last chance to grow taller. ”Do boys also have precocious puberty, and can precocious puberty be prevented?” It occurs in both sexes, commonly in girls, and prevention lies in the details. The incidence of girls is much higher than that of boys though. But because breast development can be detected by parents in time and come to the clinic; boys are relatively insidious in the beginning of the disease and are more common to those who belong to organic diseases, so they need to pay more attention. How to prevent precocious puberty? The first is to control the intake of exogenous hormones; the second is to control excessive calorie intake; the third is to control the bad mental stimulation; the fourth is to strengthen the observation of the child’s life, especially pay attention to the time of breast development in young girls.
