preface
In 2019, Xiaoyu, who was under 8 years old, felt breast swelling and pain, and Xiaoyu's mother quickly checked it after learning about it, and found that Xiaoyu's breasts showed signs of enlargement, and immediately took her to the hospital for examination.
After the doctor's examination, Xiaoyu diagnosed that Xiaoyu was suffering from "precocious puberty", Xiaoyu's mother heard the news, and instantly felt a thunderbolt on a sunny day, her daughter is not yet 8 years old, how did she start to develop?
In fact, the reason why children will "precocious" is the ignorance and negligence of parents.
"Precocious puberty" in children
In addition to light rain, many children have also shown signs of "precocious puberty".
In Shanghai, a mother found that her daughter, who had just turned 7 years old, was sweet, her breasts were hard, and it seemed to be enlarged, and when she touched, her daughter would feel swollen and painful, and the mother felt very inappropriate, and immediately took her daughter to the hospital.
After coming to the hospital, the doctor did a B-ultrasound examination of both breasts and uterine ovaries for Tiantian, and found that Tiantian's breasts had begun to enlarge, and the bilateral ovaries developed significantly, and later performed bone age and hormone level examinations, but the results were true, Tian Tian was suffering from "precocious puberty".
After some treatment, the sweet "precocious" symptoms were relieved. But after a while, Tiantian's breasts began to appear abnormalities again, and the parents hurriedly took Tian Tian to a major hospital for examination.
After a doctor's diagnosis, I learned that the sweet "precocious" situation was already out of the control of Western medicine.
When the mother learned this result, she was shocked, she usually pays attention to the healthy diet of her children, and the aspects of eating are nutritionally balanced, how come her daughter has just turned seven years old and is "precocious"?
The fact is that "precocious" children are not the only ones who are light rain and sweet.
According to data, 530,000 children in China suffer from "precocious puberty", with a probability of 0.43%, and the proportion is increasing year by year, even exceeding the level of developed countries.
The most frightening thing is that even 2-year-old children cannot escape the "bad luck" of precocious puberty.
In Harbin, a mother was bathing her 2-year-old daughter when she accidentally found a small bag on her baby's chest, which she thought was the cause of her daughter's fat toot or mosquito bites.
But because I am still young, I am afraid that there is a physical problem. To be on the safe side, the mother took the baby to the hospital for check-ups.
It turned out that she had signs of early development, her chest belonged to the developmental level of a 10-year-old child, and her bone age was also ahead of development, 10 cm higher than that of children of the same age, simply put, "precocious puberty".
But unfortunately, many parents do not understand the knowledge of "precocious puberty", so the rate of "precocious puberty" children is low, and many children are left behind because they are not discovered in time.
There is a boy called Xiaoyu, when he was a child, he grew taller than children of the same age, and his parents were very happy when they saw this, thinking that Xiaoyu must be a big tall man when he grew up, but slowly they found that Xiaoyu's height has not grown for a long time, and he is still more than one meter and five meters at the age of 15.
After going to the hospital for examination, it was found that the child was actually precocious puberty, and various body functions developed in advance, resulting in the early closure of the bone scale line, affecting height.
So how to tell if a child is "precocious puberty"? First, we must understand the characteristics of precocious puberty.
Features of precocious puberty
"Precocious puberty" refers to the manifestation of secondary sexual characteristics before the age of 8 in girls and before the age of 9 in boys, and most of the manifestations here are abnormal development of private areas.
The most common "precocious puberty" in girls is chest development, or early menarche, which is easy to know.
But boys' "precocious puberty" is different, they are initially reflected on the testicles, the position is quite hidden, if parents do not pay attention, it is difficult to detect.
A boy named Lele had just entered the third grade, and his reproductive organs began to change, quietly becoming longer and hairy, but because he was in boarding school, his parents were rarely around.
After Lele told his parents about this, his parents didn't care, thinking that this was a normal development for boys, and finally Lele was in the sixth grade, but his height was not long.
Later, his parents took him to the hospital for examination, and it turned out that Lele was "precocious puberty". The height of Coke is basically set, there is no room to grow taller, even if it is found, it will not help.
In addition to paying attention to the symptoms of precocious puberty in children at any time, it is also necessary to learn to distinguish between true and false "precocious puberty".
Precocious puberty is true and false
"Precocious puberty" can be divided into two categories, one is peripheral precocious puberty, that is, false precocious puberty, and the other is central precocious puberty, which belongs to true precocious puberty.
True precocious puberty is mostly the development of the body, simply put, the child's physical characteristics change in advance, such as early menstruation, ovulation and other conditions, and also have the ability to give birth.
Pseudoprecocious puberty does not occur inside the body, and external changes are the most obvious.
For example, boys have long beards, Adam's apples, and skeletal muscle growth. Girls' chest development, early development of intimate features, and armpit hair growth.
Although pseudoprecocious puberty has changed externally, the body has not entered the function of the developmental period. No matter what the situation arises, parents need to pay attention to and timely conditioning.
However, children's "precocious puberty" is not as simple as affecting height, and it is likely to endanger the child's life safety.
"Precocious puberty" harm
If the child is "precocious" and the body develops early, in addition to affecting the height, it may also bring these four major hazards to the child.
1. Mental retardation.
Children with "precocious puberty" are likely to develop less intellectually than normally developing children. According to children's clinical data, children with idiopathic precocious puberty affect not only height, but also affect intellectual development.
Therefore, if your child learns slower than other people's children, has poor comprehension ability, and is accompanied by developmental abnormalities, you must be vigilant about whether it is caused by idiopathic precocious puberty, and the focus is not on the child's achievements, but on health.
2. Low self-esteem and cowardice.
"Precocious puberty" children's physical development is earlier than other children, especially girls, chest development will be more obvious, because of the difference, so that they become particularly sensitive, always afraid of being ridiculed by classmates.
Slowly there will be an inferiority complex, the whole person will become cowardly and timid, which will affect their normal interpersonal communication, and if it is serious, it may also produce mental illness.
3. Advance sex.
"Precocious puberty" children's physical development and mental mismatch, lack of social experience and self-control, coupled with the development of the Internet today, children are exposed to more things and curious.
Without proper guidance and intervention, there is a high risk of early sexual activity, which increases the risk of sexually transmitted diseases or early pregnancy.
If you are not more than 14 years old, this behavior is a crime, and in the end, you will face the end of prison.
4. Affect health.
The early development of the gonads of children with "precocious puberty" indicates that they will also age early, and they may also suffer from obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes and other diseases.
It even affects fertility, increases the risk of reproductive tumor diseases, and seriously affects the health of the body.
In order to prevent their children from "precocious puberty", many parents will find the reason from all aspects, especially in food. But many foods that are believed to cause "precocious puberty" are actually rumors.
"Precocious puberty" food rumors
Many parents will attribute the cause of children's "precocious puberty" to foods such as soy milk, off-season fruits or fried chicken and honey, but the truth is that these foods are not the culprits that cause children's "precocious puberty".
First of all, take soy milk, many parents feel that soy milk contains estrogen, children drinking too much will lead to hormone disorders in the body, resulting in early maturation, but soy milk is plant hormones, can not directly "ripen" the child.
There are also off-season fruits, and many parents believe that the reason why these off-season fruits can be grown against the laws of nature is because of hormones.
Indeed, when cultivating these fruits, hormones are used by the people involved.
But these hormones are mainly plant hormones, which are used to affect the growth and development of plants, and eating these fruits will not play a role in "ripening".
In addition to the above two, there is also fried chicken. Many parents believe that fried chicken has hormones in it, and eating too much will be "precocious", but precocious puberty is not directly related to the chicken itself, mainly the way of cooking.
There is also honey is also not related to children's "precocious puberty", the sex hormones in honey are minimal, the main component is sugar, as well as protein and pollen.
Among them, pollen contains a large number of plant hormones, which do not stimulate human hormones, resulting in children's "precocious puberty", but because the sugar content is too high, it is not suitable for excessive use.
Therefore, the food itself is not the cause of the child's "precocious puberty".
So what is the real culprit of "precocious puberty"? In fact, it is the negligence and ignorance of parents.
The real culprit of "precocious puberty"
Some children's "precocious puberty" is related to genetics or diseases, but the main culprit comes from daily life, such as the following aspects.
First, eat health care products indiscriminately.
Many parents are very attentive to their children, in order to make their children healthy, they always give them a variety of health care products, but this will lead to precocious puberty and endanger the child's health.
A few years ago, Ms. Gu, who lives in Yuzhong District, found herself one day that her 8-year-old girl began to develop her breasts, and recently came on a menstrual holiday, and quickly took the child to the Southwest Hospital for examination.
Finally, the doctor told Tong Tong that he was "precocious", and the main reason was that the supplement was overdone.
It turned out that Ms. Gu listened to a friend's introduction and bought a high-grade supplement for Tong Tong, saying that the child ate this supplement, not only can grow taller and become smart, but also improve the physical fitness, and bought a bunch without saying a word, enough to give Tong Tong a year, and finally led to the child's precocious puberty.
Second, the body is obese.
Now that the living conditions are better, the children have more pocket money, they don't worry about snacks at all, and often eat those high-calorie foods such as fries, hamburgers, fried chicken and cola, resulting in gradual weight gain.
Moreover, the older generation of people raise children, do not pursue balanced nutrition, give children what they have, and often give children meat food, in the long run, children will be overly obese.
Excessive obesity is also one of the causes of "precocious puberty" in children.
Hangzhou 9-year-old girl Xiao Ai, only one meter four, but weighed more than 100 pounds, later Xiao Ai's parents found that Xiao Ai's breasts gradually enlarged, went to the hospital for examination and was told that Xiao Ai was too obese to cause precocious puberty.
Third, turn on the night light to sleep.
Many parents will have the habit of turning on the night light for their children to sleep, but this behavior will lead to a decrease in the secretion of melatonin in the child's body, so that the hormones in the body cannot be suppressed, and precocious puberty occurs.
For example, in Wenzhou, a 7-year-old girl was finally found to be "precocious puberty" because she slept with a night light on for a long time.
Fourth, play with mobile phones and browse bad content
Today's children have early contact with mobile phones and computers, and will secretly stay up late to play, which will also lead to "precocious puberty".
And there is a lot of bad content on the Internet, many software will pop up those explicit content and web pages from time to time, children are curious, will click in to see those bad content.
In the long run, it will stimulate the secretion of hormones in the body, resulting in "precocious puberty".
In addition to these four aspects, we must also pay attention not to let children contact cosmetics early, and do not buy inferior plastic toys for children, which will cause children to "precocious puberty".
And the usual drugs should also be put away, especially contraceptives, if they are secretly eaten by the child, it is likely to "ripen" the child.
So how to prevent children from "precocious puberty"? In addition to the above points, the following are also important.
Prevention of "precocious puberty"
The first is to participate in outdoor sports more.
Usually take children to outdoor sports, can distract them, but also enhance physical fitness.
If you want your child to grow taller, you can also do some stretching or bouncing exercises, which can promote bone growth, which is much more reliable than eating those messy supplements.
The second is balanced nutrition.
Usually the diet should be thick and thin, balanced nutrition, do not give the child those junk food, eat some fresh fruits, vegetables or meat, control the child's weight.
Finally, have a good work and rest habit.
Children of different ages need different hours of sleep, 3-6 years old children are guaranteed to sleep 10-13 hours a day, 7-13 years old sleep 9-11 hours a day, generally 9-11 years old children fall asleep at about nine o'clock at night.
In this way, sleep well can also avoid disorders of the endocrine system, resulting in "precocious puberty".
epilogue
"Precocious puberty" affects the child's life, I hope that parents usually care more about their children, once it is found that the child has early development, must seek medical treatment in time, do not wait until the harm is caused and regret. Finally, I hope that children all over the world can grow up healthy.
