On the tenth day of the new year, Jingjing’s mother (pseudonym) had a sad face and hurriedly brought Jingjing to the clinic of Li Zhen, deputy chief physician of the Growth and Development Clinic of the Child Health Care Department of the Hangzhou Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital.
It turned out that Jingjing in her early 6 years had breast enlargement, which was too sudden for her mother. Development at such a young age, is it true or false? What if I don’t grow taller in the future? Will you have an early period?
Faced with a series of questions from her mother, Li Zhen comforted the mother and daughter, carefully inquired about Jingjing’s diet, and conducted a series of examinations. Based on all the results, it was found that Jingjing’s pseudo development was caused by excessive supplementation of ingredients such as ginseng, wolfberry, and soft-shelled turtle in order to make her grow up around the Spring Festival.
These things can cause precocious puberty
In addition to the well-known fried chicken, off-season vegetables and fruits that can stimulate precocious puberty, in fact, these things in life will also To increase the risk of precocious puberty in children, parents must consciously help their children avoid these bad eating and living habits.
01
Overweight or obesity
Both are important causes of precocious puberty. Parents should cultivate children’s reasonable eating habits from an early age. It is not advisable to drink as water and often eat fried and high-sugar foods. On the one hand, hormones may be added to the above foods. On the other hand, the increase in the number of fat cells and the activity of aromatase in the body can lead to precocious puberty, early bone age, early menarche, and life-long effects.
02
Sleep with night lights on
This is a way of life that many parents ignore. The effect of turning on the night light is mainly due to the problem of light brightness, which will reduce the melatonin secreted by the pineal gland, and melatonin itself has a certain inhibitory effect on the gonadal axis. When melatonin is reduced, the rate of gonad development will be accelerated accordingly, and the child may have precocious puberty.
If you have to turn on the night light, it is recommended that you buy a weak light and avoid direct exposure to children when using it.
03
Various “not suitable for children” information content
Many TV series, games, novels, and even cartoons may have some plots that are not suitable for children , will cause children’s psychological and emotional precocious puberty.
Therefore, parents should close their children’s entertainment and reading content, communicate with their children more, and observe whether the children have “abnormal” behavior.
04
Rapidly released poultry and certain medicines and cosmetics
Many chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry eat feeds mixed with rapid growth agents Growing up, for example, the residues of “ripening agents” in poultry meat are mainly concentrated in the glands of the head and neck of poultry. Therefore, frequent eating of duck necks and goose necks is also a high-risk factor for precocious puberty.
In addition, misuse of mother’s contraceptives and frequent use of mother’s skin care products are also one of the causes of peripheral precocious puberty.
