Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Does Growth Of Pubic Hair In A Child Indicate Precocious Puberty?
Good afternoon. I have an 8 year old daughter who is 57 inches tall, has signs of pubic hair and is easily angered. Is it possible that she is hitting precocious puberty early? And if so, can her hormones be affecting her temper or could it be a sign of something more serious such as ADHD?
noted history of pubertal signs. it is best if you bring your daughter to a doctor, preferably a pediatrician, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. your daughter's condition may be a normal growth process, but other pathologies such as hormonal imbalance, must also be ruled-out. diagnostics and management will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
