In recent years, the incidence rate of precocious puberty in children has increased significantly, and it has become the most common endocrine disease in children. How should parents prevent precocious puberty in children on a daily basis? Experts say parents should pay more attention to observing whether their children have premature secondary sexual characteristics. The child's size suddenly jumps up, and some parents are still complacent. In fact, the sudden acceleration of height growth in children before the age of 10 is often a signal of precocious puberty. At this time, parents should promptly take their child to the hospital for consultation and treatment. On weekdays, it is best for parents to keep a record of their child's growth and development at any time. For example, keeping a growth log for their child, making a simple ruler on the wall or refrigerator, and measuring their height every two to three months. If they find that their child has grown a lot at once, they should go to the hospital for examination; Parents of girls should pay more attention and take their children to the hospital for examination if there are traces of secretions when washing their underwear. The following methods can effectively prevent precocious puberty in children:
1. Increase sports activities. Especially, it is necessary to strengthen lower limb exercise, ensuring a daily exercise time of more than 30 minutes. Sports options include running, climbing stairs, and skipping rope.
2. Ensure sufficient sleep. Every night, there should be eight or nine hours of high-quality sleep to ensure that the pituitary gland can secrete sufficient growth hormone at night, as growth hormone plays an important role in promoting rapid height growth.
3. To prevent the occurrence of precocious puberty, parents should also pay attention to giving their children less chicken, beef, lamb, silkworm pupae, etc., and not abusing so-called children's food that has not been strictly tested.
4. Do not give children excessive use of nutritional supplements, such as royal jelly, pollen preparations, chicken embryos, and other "supplements". Store contraceptives, breast enhancement and beauty products properly to prevent children from taking or coming into contact with them by mistake.
5. Early detection and timely treatment. In addition to mastering necessary medical knowledge, parents should pay more attention to observing whether their children have premature appearance of secondary sexual characteristics, sudden acceleration of height growth in children under 10 years old, and other phenomena. Once abnormalities are found, they should promptly seek medical treatment at a regular hospital.
6. Children with precocious puberty should be educated about menstruation knowledge and menstrual hygiene, and sex education should start as early as possible according to children's understanding.
7. Masturbation, watching yellow, etc. can stimulate the brain and the reproductive organs of the body, making the brain feel that it is time for mating, which can lead to a large secretion of sexual hormones, leading to premature puberty. So masturbation and watching pornography can to some extent affect growth and development. So don't come into contact with yellow objects too early, which is beneficial for growth, development, and physical and mental health.
In short, if a child experiences precocious puberty, as a parent, it is necessary to relieve their concerns, analyze the cause, patiently explain, and not let the child have mental burden. At the same time, actively cooperate with doctors, carefully examine and treat, so that children with precocious puberty can still develop normally and will not affect their future marriage and childbirth.
