Do you also have a family history of precocious puberty? Guardians who avoid precocious puberty must do these things

Precocious puberty refers to the early appearance of puberty, that is, women appear gonadal enlargement and secondary sexual characteristics before the age of 8, or menstruation before the age of 10, and men develop before the age of 9. According to the different pathogenesis, precocious puberty is generally divided into gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) dependent precocious puberty (true precocious puberty) and non GnRH dependent precocious puberty (pseudo precocious puberty). The former is called central precocious puberty or completeness precocious puberty, The latter is called peripheral precocious puberty, in addition to

What are the common causes of precocious puberty?

Human physiological development follows certain rules, as well as the development of sexual organs and characteristics. If one matures prematurely, it is called precocious puberty. Why does precocious puberty occur? Because human growth and development are directly controlled by the brain and hypothalamus, the endocrine system can also develop normally. If for some reason the control of the endocrine system is affected, it can disrupt the regularity of sexual development, leading to precocious puberty or delayed puberty.

1. There is a certain pathological change in the brain. Sequela such as tuberculous meningitis, adhesions in the hypothalamus at the base of the head, can lead to precocious puberty.

2. Brain injuries such as skull base fractures and severe birth injuries.

3. Family history.

4. Adrenal cortical hyperplasia, adrenal cortical tumors, gonadal functional tumors, and chorionic epithelial carcinoma can all cause precocious puberty. The reason is that the lesion and the tumor itself can secrete or promote gonadotropins, leading to the development of sexual organs.

5. Exogenous precocious puberty occurs when children ingest their mother's contraceptive pills by mistake.

If sexual precocity is found, timely diagnosis and treatment should be carried out, especially for boys, because their chances of having brain tumors with sexual precocity symptoms are much higher than girls, so don't take it lightly.

Parents should do these things well to avoid precocious puberty

1. Avoid consuming foods and medications containing sex hormones. For children who are usually healthy (healthy food), there is no need to add additional supplements. Children who are usually weak, sick, anorexia, or sweating can choose appropriate complementary foods, but they should be used under the guidance of a doctor to avoid unnecessary side effects. In addition, pregnant women (pregnant women's food) and nursing mothers should not use supplements and skincare products containing sex hormones. Contraceptives should be kept out of reach of children to prevent them from taking them by mistake.

2. Control your diet appropriately, especially avoid foods with high fat content, eat less sweets, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Excessive nutrition (nutritious food) and excessive fat can easily promote sexual development.
