What foods can help recover from precocious puberty?
No specific food can cure the condition of precocious puberty, but it is important to avoid consuming foods high in estrogenic effects, such as dairy products, soy products, and honey, which need to be strictly controlled. Excessive intake can worsen the symptoms of precocious puberty. This includes avoiding fried foods, snacks, certain fruits, and other snacks. In everyday life, it is best to consume seasonal fruits and vegetables and maintain a balanced diet with moderate amounts of meat and eggs, which is beneficial for stabilizing hormone levels associated with precocious puberty.
How can precocious puberty be treated? Is it reversible?
Precocious puberty has many causes, including genetic factors, conditions during the mother's pregnancy, or congenital pituitary abnormalities, all of which can lead to the condition. When precocious puberty occurs, it is necessary to conduct diagnostic tests including MRI of the pituitary in the head, bone age assessment, ultrasonography of the gonads, and blood hormone level measurements to determine the appropriate treatment. Mild cases can be managed through a balanced diet, appropriate exercise, and rest. In some cases, oral Chinese medicine can be used if blood hormone levels are not severe enough to require other treatments, to help control the child’s sexual development. In severe cases, such as when a child's bone age is more than one year above their actual age, accompanied by abnormal blood hormone levels and changes in gonadal ultrasound, and significant loss in height, it may be necessary to administer injections of gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs to control the level of sexual development. If there is a significant loss in height, it may also be necessary to combine this with growth hormone injections to treat growth.
