“Precocious puberty inhibiting injection”, i.e. gonadotropin-releasing hormone analog, whether 8-year-old girls need to be injected or not needs to be analyzed according to the specific cause of the disease. Central precocious puberty (true precocious puberty) in the idiopathic need to be injected treatment, other factors caused by the cause of the treatment can be.
Precocious puberty is divided into peripheral precocious puberty (pseudo precocious puberty) and central precocious puberty (true precocious puberty). 8 year old girls with precocious puberty symptoms need to consult a doctor in time to clarify the cause of the disease.
1. Idiopathic central precocious puberty: injection of gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs is needed, which can inhibit the pituitary-gonadal axis through the down-regulation of receptors, thus temporarily inhibiting sexual development and delaying skeletal maturation, and ultimately improving height and avoiding the adverse effects of premature development on the child’s psychology.
2. Other causes of central precocious puberty or peripheral precocious puberty: generally there is no gonadotropin-releasing hormone dependence, so there is no need to take precocious puberty inhibition injection. However, it is necessary to find out the cause of the disease and treat the cause of the disease. For example, tumors need to be treated with early surgery or radiotherapy, and adrenocortical hyperplasia requires adrenocorticotropic hormone treatment.
In addition to the inhibitory injection, you also need to let the child develop good habits, more exercise, away from hormone-containing foods and cosmetics, to reduce exogenous intake.
