What should I do if a little girl's breasts develop prematurely?

In recent years, many children have shown signs of precocious puberty, and the number is increasing year by year. For girls, precocious puberty is generally manifested in breast development. Under normal circumstances, girls will show the second physical sign, namely breast development, between the ages of 9 and 12. So, what should we do if a little girl’s breasts develop prematurely? If you want to know the answer, please read the following carefully!

Partial precocious puberty requires close observation. Partial precocious puberty is often seen in early breast development, usually without the appearance of other sexual characteristics, normal height growth, and bone age is the same as age or slightly earlier (often within one year). The reason for this type of precocious puberty is that the negative feedback regulation of the hypothalamus on sex hormones in the body has not yet stabilized, and the increased levels of follicle-stimulating hormone and estrogen in the body cause breast development. This type of precocious puberty has little effect on bone development in the early stages, but if the levels of follicle-stimulating hormone and estrogen increase for a long time, bone growth will be accelerated and epiphyseal fusion will be advanced.

For these children, their height growth should be closely observed, and their bone age and blood sex hormones should be checked regularly. When necessary, relevant hormone tests should be performed to identify whether true precocious puberty will develop in time. In a small number of children, breast enlargement occurs before the age of two years, and in some cases in the neonatal period. This is because the newborns inhale hormone secretions from the mother's birth canal during delivery, or obtain hormones from the mother's blood since the fetal period. Since the hormone levels of most children gradually decrease as they grow older, treatment is generally not required.

Through the introduction above, I believe you already know what to do if a little girl’s breasts develop prematurely! Precocious puberty can cause great harm to children, and can easily cause them to experience symptoms such as fear, shyness, and irritability, so parents must pay attention. When children are young, the milk powder they use must not contain too many hormones and must be chosen carefully.
