How to judge whether a boy is precocious

Precocious puberty in boys is still very common in today's society, but it often affects the normal daily life of children, and in many cases it will continue to have a certain impact on the children's hearts. After all, precocious puberty in boys is not something that most boys will experience, so in many cases it is inevitable to be squeezed out. So, let's talk about the main manifestations of precocious puberty in boys.

Precocious puberty in boys refers to changes in secondary sexual characteristics such as enlarged testicles and thickened penis before the age of 9-9.5. If a child has similar symptoms, he or she can be taken to the hospital for a testicular ultrasound examination. Testicular ultrasound can immediately determine the size of the testicles and can tell whether the child has precocious puberty. Once a boy has precocious puberty, the first thing that will appear is the changes in the testicles and genitals, followed by changes in pubic and armpit hair, and changes in the throat. Precocious puberty in boys, like precocious puberty in girls, affects the child's final height as an adult. Too early sexual development will have an impact on the child's psychological state. When children develop symptoms of precocious puberty, bone age tests and blood estrogen levels should be conducted as soon as possible to determine whether it will affect the child's height and whether medication intervention is needed based on the specific situation.

Men who have not reached adulthood but have the main manifestations of adulthood are called precocious puberty. The manifestations of male sexual maturity are the growth and development of male reproductive organs into adult types and the appearance of secondary male characteristics, such as enlargement of male testicles and scrotum, growth and widening of male genitals, appearance of male pubic hair, beard, armpit hair, voice becoming wider and deeper, enlargement of Adam's apple, growth of body shape, and even the appearance of genital erection and ejaculation. Boys who have the above characteristics before the age of 10 can be diagnosed with precocious puberty.

The prevalence of precocious puberty in children has increased from 0.5% to 1.3%, and is still rising. Normal children grow 5 cm every year, while precocious children, such as 7-year-old children, can grow 10 cm every year, but they will not grow when they are 14 years old, and their final height will be smaller than their peers. Some children with precocious puberty may also be caused by compression of brain tumors. If not properly treated, it may seriously endanger the patient's life. Psychologically, children with precocious puberty feel confused about their body changes, often feel that they are different from their peers, and cause psychological problems such as lack of self-confidence. In addition, precocious puberty will make children have reproductive functions too early, which is easy for children to fall in love early, and even cause social development problems such as little girl pregnancy and boy sexual crimes. It can be said to be very harmful.
