7-year-old girl has a lump in her breast

Nowadays, many little girls develop earlier and show signs of precocious puberty. For example, a 7-year-old girl has lumps in her breasts. What is the reason for this phenomenon? How can we alleviate children's precocious puberty? Many parents and friends should pay attention to such issues. Let’s discuss them in detail with them below.

Precocious puberty affects final height

"Whether it is true or false, precocious puberty can be accompanied by accelerated growth of height and weight, rapid bone maturation and premature fusion of epiphyses, so that children show excessive growth and advanced bone age in the early stage of the disease, but eventually become shorter in adulthood," said Zhong Yan. "Bone age is a major indicator that determines a child's height potential. Under normal circumstances, bone age should be equal to or slightly less than age. If bone age is older than age, it is precocious puberty. For example, if the actual age is more than eight years old, but the measured bone age is eleven years old, this is considered to be an early bone age. The harm is that the bones are closed prematurely and growth stops early. In this way, the child will eventually be short."

Foods that children should not eat too much

1. Fried foods

Especially fried chicken, French fries and potato chips. Excessive calories will be converted into excess fat in children's bodies, causing endocrine disorders and leading to precocious puberty. In addition, cooking oil is easily oxidized after repeated heating, which is also one of the causes of precocious puberty. Children who visit fast food restaurants more than twice a week and frequently eat fried and puffed foods are 2.5 times more likely to suffer from precocious puberty than normal children.

2 Poultry

Especially the poultry neck. Most of the poultry sold on the market are fed with feed mixed with rapid growth agents. The residues of "ripening agents" are mainly concentrated in the glands in the head and neck of poultry. Therefore, eating the necks of chickens, ducks, and geese is a high-risk behavior that promotes precocious puberty.

3. Off-season vegetables and fruits

Strawberries, grapes, watermelons, tomatoes, etc. in winter, and pears, apples, oranges and peaches that are available early in late spring, almost all grow out of season or mature early with the help of "ripening agents", so they must be avoided from being eaten by young children.

4 Certain oral liquids for children

Many children's supplements and oral liquids are advertised as helping children to "grow taller and stronger", but in fact they may contain hormone ingredients. These hormones make children grow taller and stronger than their peers when they are five or six years old, and their bone age has reached 8 or 10 years old. However, when the child enters the normal development stage, it stops growing.

5 Foods That Can Be Used as Medicine

Including ginseng, astragalus, dried longan, dried lychee, cordyceps sinensis, etc. Traditional Chinese medicine points out that the more tonic the medicinal food is, the more likely it is to change the child’s normal endocrine environment.
