Sudden height increase before the age of 10 is a dangerous signal. What are the symptoms of precocious puberty in children

In recent years, there have been more and more children with precocious puberty? According to analysis, in addition to the three reasons revealed by the previous three cases, there are also the following factors that promote the current increase in the incidence rate of precocious puberty in children:

1. Residual hormones in animals and plants

Animal feed additives contain hormones, and there are hormone residues in the bodies of raised animals. Meat products made from this can also have effects on children's bodies when eaten by children. In addition, most out of season vegetables and fruits are hormone induced, and frequent consumption of such fruits is not good for children's health.

2. Environmental Hormones

The substances and their decomposition products emitted by the detergent, pesticide, and plastic industries into the environment can produce a series of hormone like pollutants in nature. If these pollutants are ingested by children, they can cause abnormal development of reproductive organs and bones.

3. Blindly supplementing

The precocious puberty in children caused by this reason is prominent in southern cities. Cantonese like to cook soup. Many people cook animal viscera together when cooking soup. Animal gonads and other endocrine glands contain hormone substances, which can enter the human body through diet.

4. Healthy food intake

Some parents blindly give healthy foods that can increase appetite to their children who do not like to eat, but generally healthy foods that can increase appetite contain hormone components. Long term use can increase the hormone levels in the child's blood, leading to precocious puberty.

5. Premature psychological stimulation

With the popularity of television, VCD, and other activities, some children can be exposed to behavioral images beyond their psychological age through movies. Statistical data shows that there are much fewer cases of precocious puberty in rural areas than in open areas, and there are significantly fewer children in rural areas than in urban areas. Rural girls are significantly behind urban girls in their menarche age, all of which are proof of the role of psychological factors.

6. Affected by certain diseases

Children may also experience precocious puberty due to various diseases such as intracranial tumors and genetic factors. Therefore, parents should pay attention to the development of their children. If they find that their children have Secondary sex characteristic too early, they should go to the endocrine department for examination and treatment in time to avoid the development of the disease.

Sudden height increase before the age of 10 is a dangerous signal

Director Gu, an endocrinologist at Tianjin Children's Health Center, believes that most precocious puberty can be cured, but early detection and timely treatment of precocious puberty are very important. Timely and effective treatment can not only prevent the further development of the Secondary sex characteristic, but also find and treat the primary disease causing sexual precocity through the diagnosis and treatment of sexual precocity.
