The dangers of precocious puberty
Precocious puberty not only affects a child's height as an adult, but also contributes to premature aging of the reproductive system. Studies have shown that precocious puberty also increases the incidence of tumors associated with the reproductive system.
Factors that contribute to precocious puberty in children
Parents are at risk of precocious puberty at the age of development
Understand the age of the mother at the time of menarche, the time of the father's first sperm or the time of voice change, and judge whether the developmental age of the parents will bring a precocious puberty crisis to the child.
If one of the parents develops early, the risk of precocious puberty increases for the child due to genetic factors.
Body Mass Index test
Parents should pay attention to children's body mass index, and studies have shown that childhood obesity and precocious puberty are closely related.
The pathogenesis of precocious puberty is the early activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, and obesity will make a force developing in the hypothalamus more vigorous, leading to the initiation of sexual development.
Expert Tip: Excessive intake of milk in children increases the risk of precocious puberty.
The risk of precocious puberty is measured from sleep habits
Observe whether the child turns on the lights at night and when he falls asleep, and can determine whether he is at risk of precocious puberty.
Normal sleep, growth hormone will be normally secreted, if sleep is insufficient, long hormones will decline, disrupting the rhythm of human physiological development; if the lights are turned on when sleeping, the light time will be reduced, which will reduce melatonin secretion, resulting in the time of sexual initiation in children.
Treatment of precocious puberty
If the child has symptoms of precocious puberty, he should go to a specialized hospital in time, ask a doctor for treatment, if it is central precocious puberty, he can be treated with sexual development inhibition drugs, and stop treatment when the developmental age is matched.
Premature parental sexual development, poor sleep habits, and childhood obesity may lead to precocious puberty in children! Do you understand the relevant risk factors?
