Does pseudo-precocious puberty need treatment?

I don’t know if you have ever heard of the condition called pseudo-precocious puberty. In fact, this condition occurs in many children. It mainly refers to some physical development conditions that occur before the child reaches the age of full development. This is pseudo-precocious puberty. For parents of children, this is a very worrying condition. So does pseudo-precocious puberty require going to the hospital to see a doctor for treatment?

1. Does pseudo-precocious puberty require treatment?

Pseudo-precocious puberty is caused by an increase in endogenous or exogenous sex hormones, which causes the child's secondary sexual characteristics to appear earlier, the genitals to develop earlier, and some may even experience vaginal bleeding. However, the high levels of sex hormones in the blood of these children have a strong negative feedback effect on the hypothalamus-pituitary gland. Therefore, when this type of precocious puberty occurs, although secondary sexual characteristics appear, the reproductive center of the hypothalamus-pituitary gland has not yet been activated. Therefore, the children do not develop according to the normal laws of sexual development and will not develop fertility. As the level of sex hormones in the blood decreases, sexual characteristics will disappear or diminish on their own. This type of precocious puberty has little effect on bone development and is mainly based on observation.

Once you encounter pseudo-precocious puberty, you should first ask a specialist to check and find out the cause of your child's pseudo-precocious puberty. After diagnosis, no special treatment is generally required. The symptoms will gradually subside after stopping contact for a period of time. Girls with vaginal bleeding should also pay attention to local hygiene, and appropriate hemostatic drugs can be used when the amount of bleeding is heavy.

3. Prevention and Treatment

1. Control your diet appropriately. Avoid overnutrition, especially avoid fatty foods, eat less sweets, but ensure protein intake, and eat more vegetables and fruits. It is important to note that children should avoid eating nutritional and health products that may contain sex hormones, and should not use skin care products containing sex hormones.

2. Increase physical activities.

In particular, you should strengthen the exercise of your lower limbs, and ensure more than 30 minutes of exercise time every day. Sports such as running, climbing stairs and skipping rope can be selected.

3. Create a good environment

For example, do not let children have too much exposure to visual stimulation that is inappropriate for their age, so that their nature can be brought into play and they can gradually return to their "true colors".
