What are the symptoms of precocious puberty in children? What to do with precocious puberty in children
In China, 'sex' is a sensitive topic that few people discuss, as if it is taboo. So in daily life, this topic is rarely discussed in the family, and in school, because the focus is more on grades, there is also little promotion of this topic. Therefore, many primary and secondary school students are not familiar with this sex education. To the extent that some children experience symptoms of precocious puberty and are ashamed to speak up, it also leads to the occurrence of some problems. In fact, sex education is related to the physical and mental health and growth of children, and we should have a lot of understanding.
The first thing to know is what 'precocious puberty' is. Premature puberty is actually a childhood disease that often occurs in children, specifically in girls before the age of 8 and boys before the age of 9. Premature puberty is relative to sexual maturity. Premature puberty refers to the appearance of certain characteristics that are unique to sexual maturity during incorrect periods of time, such as breast development, the appearance of female pubic and axillary hair, and rapid growth in height and weight. The occurrence of these phenomena can indicate precocious puberty. Although precocious puberty is a disease, we don't need to be too taboo.
The main manifestation of precocious puberty in women is the sudden enlargement and tactile sensation of the breasts. At the same time, her height will also increase rapidly. If there are symptoms of precocious puberty without treatment, there will be symptoms of axillary hair growth, pubic hair growth, and even vaginal bleeding. Women with precocious puberty often fail to reach the height level of an average person as they grow up.
The most obvious symptom of male precocious puberty is the enlargement of the testicles, followed by the elongation and darkening of the penis. The male characteristic penis also has more erections and more ejaculation.
Childhood precocious puberty is only physical precocity, but its intellectual and psychological abilities are still at the same level as normal children. These children with precocious puberty have different physical changes from others, resulting in a sense of inferiority and significant psychological changes, which may have adverse effects on the future.
When children are found to have symptoms of precocious puberty, as parents' guardians and teachers, it is necessary to guide their physical and mental health correctly. At the same time, in terms of daily diet, there should also be reasonable norms, and children should not be overnourished due to indulgence. The most important thing is not to eat foods rich in sex hormones. Also, avoid reading books and movies about "sex". Parents should not have too much intimate behavior towards their children, but should guide their curiosity and desire for knowledge about sex correctly.
Only by treating sexual education correctly can we help children grow better.
