How to treat precocious puberty in little girls

Many young children show signs of precocious puberty, so they need timely treatment to ensure the safety of the children and avoid situations that may affect their health. If any problems arise, you should consult a doctor in time. So how should precocious puberty in little girls be treated? Let me introduce this issue to you below.

Precocious puberty is an abnormal growth and development condition characterized by the early onset of puberty characteristics, such as breast development in girls before the age of 8 and menstruation before the age of 10. Most cases of precocious puberty in girls are of unknown causes, but in a few cases they are caused by pituitary tumors. In addition, there is exogenous precocious puberty caused by foods or drugs containing sex hormones. Therefore, if necessary, it is also necessary to perform B-ultrasound examination of the uterus and ovaries, and to draw blood for endocrine function tests and magnetic resonance imaging of the pituitary gland to further clarify the developmental status. Because children with precocious puberty enter puberty early but their intelligence and sexual psychology are not yet mature, they are prone to social problems and place mental and life burdens on their parents. In addition, because the bone growth of children is accelerated, although they are temporarily taller than other children of the same age, their bones close prematurely, and they are often shorter than normal people in adulthood. Therefore, after diagnosis, drug treatment is required. Exogenous precocious puberty does not require treatment, just stop taking related drugs or foods.

The determination of serum hormone levels helps to distinguish between true and false precocious puberty. In true precocious puberty, the levels of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone are increased and cyclical, while in false precocious puberty, the levels of both sex hormones are often undetectable. Treatment should be tailored to the specific cause. For example, if you have an ovarian or adrenal cortex tumor, you must undergo surgery, but there is no specific treatment for neurological diseases. 80-90% of precocious puberty is a physical problem, with no obvious cause and no special treatment. In addition to examinations and treatments, parents should pay special attention to their children's psychological changes. After a clear diagnosis, they should tell their children some necessary knowledge to help them adapt to their physical maturity.

The above is my opinion on this issue. If patients have problems, more attention should be paid to treatment, especially the problem of precocious puberty in little girls, so as to avoid affecting the girls' mental and physical health. Therefore, if patients have problems, they should be treated in time to ensure their health. Finally, I wish the children a speedy recovery.
