What are the symptoms of precocious puberty in girls?

In modern society, many special diseases have emerged due to some unhealthy diets. Precocious puberty is the most common disease. Especially some girls are very prone to precocious puberty due to some reasons. Many parents are worried that their children will have this situation, but they don’t know what the symptoms of precocious puberty in girls are like. So, what are the symptoms of precocious puberty in girls?

First, what are the symptoms of precocious puberty in girls? Girls show signs of sexual maturity such as menstruation, breast development, and pubic hair growth before the age of 8 or before 2 standard deviations of the local average age of menarche. It can be diagnosed as precocious puberty. Then determine whether it is true or false precocious puberty and find out the cause. First of all, we must rule out diseases that are more serious in harming the body, such as central nervous system diseases, ovarian and adrenal tumors, and vaginal bleeding caused by other non-endocrine abnormalities, such as inflammation, foreign bodies, trauma, or reproductive tract tumors. When collecting the medical history, we should ask whether the patient has accidentally taken birth control pills, whether breastfeeding mothers have taken birth control pills, whether the patient has consumed nutritional foods containing sex hormones, whether there has been a history of head trauma 1 to 2 months ago, whether there has been a history of birth trauma, convulsions, epilepsy, infection, etc., and whether there is a family history of precocious puberty. Understand the age of onset, speed of disease progression and growth status, whether there are headaches or visual impairments during the course of the disease, etc.

Second, special attention should be paid during the physical examination: ① Record height (the ratio of upper to lower body), chest circumference, arm circumference, weight, pay attention to fat distribution, body shape, record the stages of sexual characteristics development and the development of external genitalia. Generally, gonadal development is evaluated based on the assumption that breast development is approximately equivalent to a bone age of 11 years, and the onset of menstruation is approximately equivalent to a bone age of 13 years. ② The systemic examination should also pay attention to the specific signs of McCune-Albright syndrome, hypothyroidism, silver syndrome, etc., such as skin pigmentation and abnormal head shape, and pay attention to any signs of abnormal nervous system. When examining the skin, attention should be paid to changes in skin pigmentation, the presence of acne, hair growth, excessive sebum secretion, and masculinization. ③ Abdominal and pelvic examination, pay attention to the presence of abdominal pain, abdominal masses, etc.

What are the symptoms of precocious puberty in girls? With the improvement of people's living standards and the increasing number of only children, it is common to give healthy children supplements at will. According to a survey, about 15% of children develop early and have a tendency to precocious puberty. To prevent the occurrence of precocious puberty in children, the following points should be noted: 1. Children should take nutritional supplements under the guidance of a doctor and supplement nutrition according to physiological needs. Children with precocious puberty often have a history of taking supplements such as ginseng royal jelly, pollen, chicken embryo baby essence, licorice, and cordyceps. Although these foods contain a variety of nutrients, they also contain gonadotropin-like substances. Excessive intake of these supplements by children may induce precocious puberty. Therefore, it is very important not to give children supplements casually in order to prevent the occurrence of precocious puberty. 2. Society, schools and parents should pay attention to avoiding media factors that are inappropriate for children. Because these media factors can directly stimulate children's cerebral cortical activity, causing children to develop wrong sexual concepts prematurely. Prevent pseudo-precocious puberty in children caused by accidental ingestion of contraceptive pills. Mothers of childbearing age should keep contraceptive pills properly. 4. Families should create an educational environment suitable for children’s physical and mental development. Let children have a full and rich life, avoid children dressing like adults, make sure children are physically and mentally in line with age characteristics, and maintain their beautiful childlike innocence.
