6-year-old boy was fed placenta by his grandmother. Precocious puberty, ignorance, ignorance, and ig

With the improvement of economic conditions in recent years, more and more parents pay attention to providing nutrition for their children and making them grow tall and strong. It is the wish of all parents to let their children have a healthy body, but if they blindly supplement all kinds of nutrition, it will easily lead to precocious puberty.

Are supplements really good for physical development?

In the Endocrinology Department of Shenzhen Children's Hospital, the number of children with precocious puberty is increasing year by year, and some of them are caused by blind supplement. Since the birth of the child, the height and weight of the child have been 'compared' by some parents, which is really not desirable.

Experts say that from the clinical point of view, children who often eat supplements will generally develop 1-2 years earlier than those who eat natural foods.

Haohao (pseudonym), a 9-year-old boy whose epiphysis was closed in advance, was brought to the Endocrinology Department of Shenzhen Children's Hospital by his parents. Hao Hao is 150cm tall and starts to grow beard and change his voice. According to the parents' recollection, Haohao's penis and testicles were like adults when he was 6 years old, but they did not attract enough attention. 'it's obviously precocious. Zhang Qin, chief physician of Endocrinology Department of Shenzhen Children's Hospital, was very impressed by this case.

After Doctor Zhang Qin asked, grandma has been adding placenta to her soup from time to time since Hao Hao was one or two years old, thinking that this can increase the immunity of children. And the grandson has always been tall and strong, ahead of many of his peers, so the old man is very happy. At Shenzhen Children's Hospital, doctors found that Hao Hao's epiphysis had closed ahead of time and would not grow any longer, which made grandma regret.

'the placenta contains many hormones and enzymes. If a child eats a placenta rich in sex hormones, it may lead to precocious puberty. 'Zhang Qin said.

As the most common disease in children's endocrinology, the incidence of precocious puberty is increasing year by year. In the endocrine clinic of Shenzhen Children's Hospital, about 7000 children come to see a doctor every month, more than 60% of them are children with precocious puberty, and less than 40% five years ago.

Zhang Qin, for example, has a pair of twin sisters who are 12 years old, one is 148 cm tall and the other is 149 cm tall. When I came to Shenzhen People's hospital to check the bone age, it was found that the epiphysis was closed and could not grow any longer. It turns out that the twins discovered early development when they were seven and a half years old, but their parents didn't pay attention to their children's menstruation until they were nine years old.

Zhang Qin lamented that "although we often see some children who are much taller and heavier than their peers when they are young, they don't have & lsquo; stamina & rsquo;. Their height stays at the previous level, and finally they become short people. 'said Zhang Qin.

Zhang Qin told reporters that at present 80% - 90% of precocious puberty has no clear reason, which is called idiopathic precocious puberty, while the more serious precocious puberty caused by diseases needs to be treated as soon as possible. The youngest precocious puberty patient in Shenzhen Children's hospital was a 5-year-old girl. At the age of 5, her breast developed. After six months of menstruation, she came to the Endocrinology Department of Shenzhen Children's Hospital for treatment and pelvic B-ultrasound. It was found that precocious puberty was caused by ovarian tumor.

According to reports, there are two types of precocious puberty caused by diseases. One is the precocious puberty caused by secondary central diseases, that is, central nervous system abnormalities, such as thalamus, pituitary tumor or other central nervous system diseases. The other is precocious puberty secondary to peripheral diseases, which is caused by adrenal diseases, gonads (ovarian, testicular tumors), adrenal tumors, etc.

When finding these symptoms, we should consider whether or not precocious puberty should be distinguished. Zhang Qin told reporters that girls have breast development before the age of 8, or menstruation before the age of 10, and boys have penis and testicle enlargement before the age of 9, which belong to the category of precocious puberty. Normal puberty development age: 10-12 years for girls and 11-13 years for boys.

'girls usually complain of breast pain. For boys, there are no obvious symptoms, and some testicular penis development is bigger than that of normal children. Generally, it is only when the voice changes that it is discovered by adults. At that time, it is very old. 'introduction to Zhang Qin.

For idiopathic precocious puberty, whether treatment intervention is needed or not, generally two factors should be considered: whether the child has psychological problems and whether the height is at normal level. 'said Zhang Qin.

"Precocious puberty does great harm to children's physical and mental health, but also causes social problems.". Zhang Qin told reporters: 'when children find that their physical development is different from that of their peers around them, such as being teased by their classmates, it is easy to increase their psychological burden. This is a direct harm to children's precocious puberty. '

Zhang Qin reminded that when children have precocious puberty symptoms, they should go to the professional pediatric endocrinology department in time. Understand the causes of precocious puberty in children, and prescribe appropriate medicine. If there is no obvious cause of precocious puberty, there are also standard drugs for the treatment of precocious puberty at home and abroad.

How to prevent? To avoid over nutrition from the clinical point of view, children who often eat supplements will generally develop 1-2 years earlier than those who eat natural diet. Zhang Qin reminded that since the birth of the child, some children's height and weight have been "compared" by their parents, which is not desirable.

Although 80-90% of children's precocious puberty is not clear, the relationship between food and precocious puberty can not be fully confirmed, but excessive nutrition will lead to obesity, obesity will lead to early development of children.

How to prevent precocious puberty

Many people think that "eating placenta tonic". In 2005, the former Ministry of health clearly pointed out that placenta belongs to the puerpera. If the puerpera gives up or donates placenta, it can be disposed by medical institutions. No unit or individual is allowed to buy or sell placenta. In addition, the 2015 edition of Pharmacopoeia of the people's Republic of China has also eliminated Ziheche (dried human placenta) and its proprietary Chinese medicine.

Unexplained placentas often contain bacteria and viruses. The harmful microorganisms that the placenta can carry include Listeria, hepatitis virus, Treponema pallidum, HIV, measles virus, herpes virus, Lyme disease pathogen, etc., some of which may cause infection through eating or contact.
