Nana is a pediatrician and received a special case today. A 6-year-old boy, with a faint beard on his mouth and a thick voice, these are symptoms that can only occur in adolescence, but they occur in a 6-year-old child, and the doctor judges that the child has precocious puberty through examination. Simply put, the child's physiological condition is obviously inconsistent with the child's age, and there is a situation of advanced development.
Over the years, there have been more and more cases of precocious puberty, and there is a trend towards a younger age of onset. It is not a good thing for children's development. What pulls a child down the abyss of "precocious puberty"? Not fried chicken or snacks, it's ignorance.
The development of children is influenced by hereditary and non-genetic factors. Hereditary factors naturally need not be said, non-genetic factors have a lifestyle. There are many factors affecting adolescent development, such as adipose tissue, adrenal androgen secretion, energy induction, psychological stress and so on.
Fried chicken has a history of decades and has become a favorite food for children. In the past, there were many children in the family, and fried chicken was not cheap, so the opportunity to eat was relatively small. Now that the living conditions of every household have improved, there are more opportunities for children to eat fried chicken.
There has been news before, indicating that some raw material chickens are problematic, beaten hormones, growth rate is particularly fast, although there are rumors later, but it should not be empty. If the child regularly eats fried chicken, there will be precocious puberty, and girls will have chest development and early menstruation. Boys will have voice changes and beards.
In fact, many parents have knowledge and culture, naturally let children eat less of this kind of food, but there are ignorant elderly people at home, knowledge is not enough, and rarely go to the news, naturally do not know that there is such a big impact on the child's body. The old man thinks that the child loves to eat, so he gives the child enough to eat, and often secretly takes the child to eat these fried chickens.
In addition, fried foods are high-calorie foods, and if children often eat them, they will cause children to be obese. If you are overweight, if you are an adult, you are likely to have symptoms such as high blood pressure and diabetes, and for children, there will be a situation of early puberty development, and fat has a vital role in the development of puberty.
It can be seen that when the child is a child, it is necessary to control the child's weight. Many children are the little bully at home, in addition to eating every day, they are watching TV at home, except for the physical education class at school, there is no exercise at all, obesity is a normal phenomenon for them.
Parents should guide their children to be nutritionally balanced, vegetables and meat can not be less, nor can they be partial to food. Not only that, but also to take your child to exercise frequently, so that the child's weight is naturally controlled.
Now many parents are busy with work, naturally neglecting their children, completely ignoring the physical development of their children, and some may be brought by the elderly at home. For these characteristics of precocious puberty in children, they are also not understood. If the child grows taller, it may be that these parents and the elderly are still happy, thinking that the child is developing well, which is completely ignorant.
If the child has precocious puberty, it will develop early and grow taller than children of the same age, but after this stage, it will stop developing, and those normal children will catch up later, and their children will grow shorter.
There is also a factor that has to be mentioned that affects children's precocious puberty, that is, children's psychological pressure. Nowadays, people have a lot of life pressure, even children are not so carefree, but most of the child pressure in childhood comes from the original family. For example, family relations are not harmonious and often quarrel, which will have an impact on children. There is also that parents love to compare too much, always compare their children with others, so that children will have great psychological pressure, and children will not be confident. In fact, psychological problems can also affect the child's physical development, and precocious puberty will also occur.
How to prevent precocious puberty in children, in addition to observing the child's growth trajectory, there is a scientific way, that is, to test the child's bone age. Bone age is the growth of children every year, follow the growth footprint of children, after a certain age, bone age will stop growing, which means that children will not grow taller. Parents basically have to test their children's bone age every year, and if they find abnormalities in their children, they can be detected early and treated as early as possible.
For if the child is diagnosed with precocious puberty, parents should not be too anxious, if the child finds it early, it is completely curable. The doctor will also develop a treatment plan according to the child's examination results, and it may also intervene in the treatment, if it is not serious, the parents may pay a little attention to avoid the child's precocious puberty.
