Two days ago, many parents sent me private messages: Why did the child come to menstruation so early when he was only 9 years old, and why was the throat knot so big when the child was only 8 years old? Today I would like to talk about precocious puberty in children.
These parents do not have to be anxious, and the children patiently read my article to understand. If parents do not understand children's precocious puberty, do not blindly follow the trend, make some wrong decisions, and then your children will have a series of dangers, and you will regret it.
First precocious puberty is an abnormal disorder in which girls develop secondary sexual characteristics before the age of 8 and boys before the age of 9. According to the pathogenesis and clinical manifestations, it is divided into two types, one is central precocious puberty and the other is peripheral precocious puberty.
According to survey data from the China Association for Health Promotion and Education, the incidence of precocious puberty in adolescents and children in China is as high as 530,000. This is a huge number, and parents must pay attention to it. See if your children are among these 530,000 people.
First, what is the harm that causes children to have such premature puberty?
1. Children are short in stature
The increase in children's height is closely related to whether the epiphyseals are closed or not. Children with precocious puberty have epiphyseal closures earlier, which can result in short stature.
2. Children are prone to psychological problems
Think of precocious children, it is easy to make these children have a psychological burden, and long-term psychological burden will produce anxiety, fear and inferiority.
3. Endanger the safety of children's lives
There is a disease called intracranial tumor, which can also compress the child's precocious puberty, and this situation requires timely medical treatment to avoid the tumor expanding and endangering life.
4. Hidden dangers of children in society
Children with precocious puberty, although physiologically mature, are still young, have serious social experience, and have poor self-restraint. In this way, there will be a series of dangers of early love, early pregnancy, and sexual assault.
2. What are the foods or drinks that cause precocious puberty in children?
1. Big fish and big meat
Daily diet is indispensable to big fish and meat, parents give their children excessive intake of protein, fat, it is very easy to lead to excess nutrition, overweight, obesity and a series of problems.
2. Drinks
Carbonated drinks, milk tea and other drinks have a high sugar content, which will affect the child's appetite, and it is also likely to cause obesity and cause another important factor of precocious puberty.
3. Health care products
At present, there are many high-grade milk powders on the market, fueling health care products, etc., which contain hormone components, resulting in "ripening" effects and inducing precocious puberty.
4. Out-of-season vegetables and fruits
Strawberries and tomatoes in winter, pears, apples, oranges, etc. that are marketed early in late spring. Fruits like this, which are out of season and some are still very bright, are often induced by ripening agents. Due to the inclusion of certain human-like estrogen-like substances, excessive consumption of children may cause precocious puberty.
Third, how can parents avoid precocious puberty in their children?
1. Reasonable diet, balanced nutrition. Do not take various supplements and health supplements.
2, do not turn on the night light to sleep. Turning on the night lights will cause the gonad hormone suppression effect in the child's body to weaken, which can cause precocious puberty.
3. Avoid obesity caused by overnutrition. Increased secretion of leptin by fat cells, promotes pituitary gonadotropins, and promotes the process of sexual development.
4, do not let children have too much contact with adult film and television dramas, books, etc., do not let children imitate some of the behaviors of adults, such as makeup, insults to others, etc.
5. Stay away from endocrine disruptors in the environment. These endocrine disruptors are divided into natural hormones and synthetic hormones. Natural hormones: phytoestrogens, isoflavones, zearalenones; synthetic hormones: chemical agents, such as detergents, bottles, toys, flame retardants, car exhaust, etc.
6. Often care about the child's physical changes, and find abnormalities in a timely manner to go to a specialized hospital for treatment.
4. If the child has developed precocious puberty, how should it be treated?
1. Pay attention to your child's growth and development. Many precocious children are found to have abnormal signs during bathing, such as deep nipple pigmentation, bulging, or short pubic hair, and some are found late.
2. Psychologically let the child eliminate all concerns. First of all, parents should understand some necessary medical knowledge, and do not make a fuss. And you can tell your child about these knowledge and truths to relieve your child's ideological concerns. Do not let the child have feelings of inferiority, psychological disorders, etc.
3. Treat with some drugs. Children with precocious puberty can take progesterone drugs such as progesterones, such as progesterone and norethindrone, under the guidance of a doctor. However, these drugs must be in moderation and should not be taken more. Because these drugs also have side effects. Use this drug with caution and be foolproof. If precocious puberty is due to a tumor, surgical resection should be performed as soon as possible once the diagnosis is confirmed.
Today for sexual precocious puberty to talk about so much, everyone must carefully read it. If there is any problem with children, we welcome comments. I will give you an answer.
