What causes premature puberty in babies? What are the methods to solve precocious puberty in children

Premature puberty refers to the early appearance of puberty, that is, women appear gonadal enlargement and Secondary sex characteristic before the age of 8, or menstruation before the age of 10, and men develop before the age of 9. According to the different pathogenesis, precocious puberty is generally divided into Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) dependent precocity (true precocity) and non GnRH dependent precocity (pseudo precocity). The former is called central precocity or complete precocity, and the latter is called peripheral precocity, Besides

Premature puberty has a significant adverse effect on children's physical and mental development: due to premature development, the bone growth time is shortened, and the bone condyles are closed too early, which affects the final height of children. Sexual development begins to mature, but the actual age and psychological maturity are inconsistent, which can easily cause psychological disorders in children. Premature puberty is not consistent with age

The causes of precocious puberty in children are analyzed according to certain physiological development patterns, as well as the development of human sexual organs and characteristics. Early maturity is called precocious puberty.

Why does precocious puberty occur?

Because human growth and development is directly controlled by the brain and hypothalamus brain Endocrine system, the sexual system can also develop normally. For some reason, the control of the Endocrine system may be affected, which may destroy the regularity of sexual development and lead to sexual precocity or sexual delay.

The reasons for precocious puberty are as follows:

1. There is a certain pathological change in the brain. Sequela such as tuberculous meningitis, adhesions in the hypothalamus at the base of the head, can lead to precocious puberty.

2. Craniocerebral trauma, such as skull base fractures and severe obstetric injuries

3. Having a family history.

4. Adrenal cortex hyperplasia, Adrenal cortex tumor, gonadal function tumor, choriocarcinoma, etc. can cause precocious puberty. The reason is that lesions and tumors themselves can secrete gonadotropins, promote glandular hormones, and promote organ development.

5. Children who ingest mother's contraceptive pills by mistake produce exogenous precocious puberty. Discovering precocious puberty requires timely diagnosis and treatment, especially for boys, as the risk of brain tumors accompanying precocious puberty symptoms is much higher than for girls, so do not take it lightly.

How to prevent precocious puberty in children?

It is important to clarify the causes of precocious puberty in children and how to receive corresponding medication treatment, but prevention is crucial. Every parent needs to make the "Guidelines for Preventing Early Childhood Sexual Maturity" one of the "mandatory readings for parenting". Guardians who understand sexual knowledge and timely conduct sexual education must clearly realize that although physical development and Secondary sex characteristic of precocious children appear in advance, their psychological status often lags behind the age of sexual characteristics development. Children with precocious puberty enter puberty physically and psychologically during childhood, just like adults.
