"Doctor Lian, can you help my daughter see if she is precocious?" Will it affect height? What checks should be done? Want to be treated? Recently, a anxious mother's dust servant found Dr. Lian Junlan, a pediatric expert in traditional Chinese medicine, and just entered the door with a series of questions.

This year's 8-year-old Tiantian (pseudonym) grew a "hard bag" on her chest more than a month ago, she was shy, did not tell her mother, until recently the "hard bag" is always painful, which told her mother. The mother took a look at the hard blocks of the daughter's breasts on both sides of the body the size of a dollar coin, quickly checked the Internet, seriously suspected that the daughter was precocious, and had been anxious for several nights without sleeping well.

Dr. Lian Junlan inquired in detail about the medical history, combined with the actual condition and related examinations, told Tiantian mother that the child is a child's simple breast development, which belongs to the kidney disease in traditional Chinese medicine, yin deficiency fire evidence, this breast "development" phenomenon is not all precocious puberty, need to further improve the examination, and found early, can be given to nourish the yin and lower the fire, healthy spleen and kidney treatment, do not worry too much.

At the same time, Dr. Lian Junlan learned that Tiantian usually has a bad habit in her diet: she especially loves to eat meat and snacks. She eats meat at almost every meal, especially chicken, Kenki and McLaugh are the favorites, and other staple foods and fruits and vegetables can not be eaten. The meal is not good, and when you are hungry, you like to find snacks everywhere at home to eat, which are some finely processed and heavier foods. Even the doctor told Sweet Mother to make corrections.

What is pure breast development in children? What does it have to do with precocious puberty?

Children may experience enlargement of one or both breasts before the age of 8 years, which may also be accompanied by tenderness. Although there is a slight enlargement of the breast, but the areola, nipple is normal, there is no other secondary sexual characteristic development phenomenon, and the diameter of the enlargement does not exceed 5 cm, this breast "development" phenomenon is not all precocious puberty.

The vast majority of them are only a special manifestation of a secondary sexual characteristic, a developmental mutation phenomenon, but also a self-limiting disease, called children's simple breast development, which belongs to incomplete precocious puberty.

Prevent precocious puberty, pay attention to these six points

1. Avoid eutrophication

Parents should pay attention to avoiding excessive intake of animals and poultry meat that "promote early ripening", vegetables and fruits that are "ripening" in the anti-season, as well as foreign foods, fried foods, etc., balance children's diets, and be reasonable with meat and vegetables, strengthen children's exercise, increase children's outdoor exercise time, and avoid obesity in children's excess nutrition.

2. Refuse to blindly supplement

Supplements are one of the culprits that cause children to precocious puberty, some parents often give their children to eat health care products that increase appetite, nootropic brain, and improve immunity, as everyone knows, these supplements often contain hormone components, long-term use, can cause the level of hormones in the child's blood to rise, resulting in precocious puberty. For example, animal colostrum, royal jelly, etc. contain more exogenous estrogens.

3. Avoid contact with bad information and guide correctly

Avoid giving children contact with some behavioral pictures that exceed their sexual and psychological age, sing less love pop songs, do not show children romance movies and romance novels, and control children's movies and television to choose films that have educational significance and no poison to children, and avoid contact with bad adult film and television programs.

4. Take good care of medicines and cosmetics

Clinically, some children with pseudoprecocious puberty are caused by taking birth control pills by mistake. Therefore, on the one hand, the contraceptive pill at home should be kept properly. On the other hand, it is necessary to educate children not to take medicine casually.

Children's sebaceous glands are not yet mature, the amount of sebum secreted is small, the skin's barrier defense function is weak, and most of the adult cosmetics contain chemical components such as fragrances, preservatives and various organic compounds, which are very easy to enter the children's body. Parents should keep cosmetics properly and educate their children correctly.

5. Try to avoid plastic products

Hormone-like pollutants in the environment, such as detergents, pesticides, and plastic products, will produce some substances, decomposed into the atmospheric environment to produce estrogen-like active substances, and easy migration to food under high temperature conditions, that is, through ingestion or skin contact, resulting in precocious puberty in children.

Now some families are used to calling takeaway, and the packaging lunch boxes of takeaway are mostly plastic products, including plastic water bottles, plastic bowls and other utensils often used by children.

6. Try not to turn on the lights when sleeping

Excessive light is one of the important triggers for precocious puberty in children, light will affect the normal work of the endocrine organ pineal gland in the brain, will reduce the secretion of pineal melatonin, causing sleep disorders may lead to premature secretion of follicle stimulator, resulting in precocious puberty. When your child sleeps at night, it is best not to turn on the lights if there are no special circumstances, and to maintain adequate sleep as much as possible.

Lian Junlan reminded that parents of girls should pay more attention to the growth and development of their children, such as paying attention to whether the children have signs of sexual development when bathing their children. If found, you should go to the hospital in time to confirm the diagnosis, and early treatment can save some "losses". In addition, parents usually have to accumulate more relevant medical knowledge, and the child's precocious puberty is only a physiological development in advance, so don't be too alarmed when encountering a situation. Communicate with children more often, relieve children's ideological concerns, reduce the burden of thought, do not have to be shy, do not have a sense of inferiority, but also pay attention to the physiological hygiene of menstruation, understand the self-protection of breasts, genitals and other parts.
