What are the symptoms of precocious puberty in children? What are the hazards of precocious puberty
In recent years, with the improvement of quality of life, the number of children with precocious puberty has increased. The reason for many children's precocious puberty is that parents consume a lot of nutritious food for their children, leading to early organ development. The symptoms of precocious puberty in children are not obvious, and many parents neglect it, which brings harm to children.
What are the symptoms of precocious puberty in children?
1、 Early onset of menstruation. At present, the normal onset time of menstruation in girls is about 11 to 12 years old, but some girls have precocious puberty and menstruation around 8 years old, accompanied by breast development, enlarged labia, and axillary hair. If these symptoms occur, it can be judged that precocious puberty occurs. Perhaps many builders believe that children have good nutrition, early development, and precocious puberty are not related, nor do they consider these symptoms as diseases.
2、 Early testicular development. Generally speaking, before the age of 11, boys' testicles are the same size as quail eggs, but in reality, it is found that a child's testicles begin to grow larger, similar to eggs, and the penis becomes larger, showing symptoms of pubic hair, indicating precocious puberty.
3、 Suddenly grow taller. Generally speaking, girls show signs of height development after the age of 9 and boys after the age of 11. Prior to this, if the child's height increased, even higher than their peers, it could be judged that the child had precocious puberty. When this happens to children, many parents are very happy that their children have grown up, so they can't observe whether the child is the cause and miss the prompt of precocious puberty symptoms.
What are the hazards of precocious puberty to children?
Children experience precocious puberty, and the effects of precocious puberty lead to earlier secretion of sex hormones. At this time, children appear taller than their peers and may experience symptoms of no harm from me. However, these children have early closure of their bone condyles, making it difficult for them to grow and have a shorter body as adults. So, don't think that growing taller is a good thing, maybe it's affecting the child's body.
A warm reminder: Parents should not consume too much nutritious food for their children. Everything should be balanced and they should not assume that their children can eat just because they can grow. Excessive intake in children not only leads to precocious puberty, but also leads to obesity, which can lead to diseases. Therefore, it is important to maintain a balanced nutrition among the three meals and avoid consuming other nutritious and high fat foods.
