Xiao Bei is 8 years old this year, and she is only three months old when she is 9 years old. However, although he is young and his height is 1 meter 5, the whole family says that he has this height at a young age, and he will definitely not be worse in the future.
But in recent times, Xiao Bei's mother found that her daughter was a little strange. He always secretly hid in his room and cried, and said that he loved his parents and so on, and even took out the pocket money he usually saved, and said that he would give his favorite doll to the children who played well.
Xiao Bei's mother felt very wrong, thinking that her daughter was bullied? So I quickly asked what was going on.
Xiao Bei said that he felt that he was about to die, and his body kept bleeding.
Xiao Bei's mother reacted to this, it should be menstruation. Because she has not told Xiaobei about the relevant physiological knowledge, she will mistakenly think that she has a terminal illness.
But Xiaobei is only 8 years old now! Xiao Bei's mother thought that she was not in a hurry now, and waited until Xiao Bei was eleven or twelve years old to popularize this knowledge to her. Think about the children around you, there is no menarche so early.
Therefore, she quickly took Xiaobei to the hospital for examination.
Doctors said: so early to menstruation, may be precocious puberty, can be precocious puberty, generally get 10 years old, have not seen so early it, may have affected bone development, have to take a bone age film.
After filming, it was found that XiaoBei's bone line had actually begun to close.
Mom only then understood why Xiaobei was 1 meter 5 tall when she was 8 years old, it was originally precocious, but her height was probably fixed at one meter and five, which made her overwhelmed.
What is the connection between menarche and height?
According to the available data in China, most girls have menarche at an age of about 12 to 14 years old, and a small number of girls are 10 to 11 years old.
Many people think that menarche is a sign of a girl's maturity, but it is not. At this time, the development of all aspects of the body is still not yet mature, and it can only be said that it is a milestone at a certain stage of development.
Usually, the height of girls at the time of menarche is only 5 to 10 centimeters away from the final height.
Menarche promotes the early growth of the hypothalamic pituitary gland axis, which leads to puberty, interferes with the secretion of growth hormone, and thus affects height development.
If you are less than 10 years old at the time of menarche, it is usually difficult for the child to grow taller. If breast development is accompanied by it, it is medically known as precocious puberty.
A common manifestation is that before the age of 10, because the skeleton development is nearly three years ahead of age, such children tend to be the tallest among their peers. But it is also for this reason that the skeletal line will close in advance and will soon be overtaken by other children.
This is why many children have superior height before puberty, but then they seem to be weak in development.
Especially girls are more susceptible to stimulation than boys, and the hypothalamus-pituitary gland is more susceptible to stimulation, so there is also a saying that "10 precocious personalities, 8 are girls".
Parents with daughters should pay special attention to the age at which a girl first menstruates.
How to prevent precocious puberty in children?
1) Eat a balanced diet
First of all, try to let children eat less high-fat and high-calorie foods, such as fried chicken, burgers, fries, etc. Excessive consumption is likely to grow round mounds at a young age, which is not conducive to good health.
For children in the development period, parents should do a scientific diet, ensure balanced nutrition, meat and vegetarian collocation, and supplement dietary fiber.
At the same time, pay attention to whether the vegetables and fruits you buy contain hormones, and try to choose green food.
2) Work and rest rules
There are two peak periods of growth hormone secretion at night, in order to give full play to its role, parents try not to let their children stay up late and go to bed before 10 pm.
But most children today have a lot of homework, and it is difficult to do this. Therefore, it is particularly important for parents to ensure the quality of their children's sleep.
Usually, remember to let your children go out and exercise more, and don't stay at home.
Today's children live surrounded by snacks and messages and are more precocious than children of the past. Parents should pay more attention and carefully observe the changes that occur in their children.
