  • What is premature puberty

    Premature puberty - puberty, which begins until reached 8 years in the girl and 10 years old.

    With true premature sex ripening, semi-ripen
    glands (ovaries or testicles), and outwardly the child looks older than his years.
    Lobby hair grows, the baby's body shape changes. With false
    Premature sex maturation changes only appearance, at that
    Time as sex glands remain immature.

    True premature puberty in girls is 2-5 times more often than that of boys.

    Causes of premature puberty

    Read more about premature sex maturation
    True premature puberty is due to early start
    release hormones gonadotropy-new from the pituitary They influence on
    Sender organs. Early start to release data hormones can be
    caused by a disease of the pituitary gland, for example a tumor producing
    Hormones, or hypothalamus - brain areas that manages
    hypophysome.

    Approximately 60% of boys with premature sex
    Mature is detected by this or that violation of growth. Against,
    Approximately 80% of girls over 6 years old with early sex ripening
    no abnormalities are found, but most girls under 4 years old with
    True premature sex ripening diagnose disease
    brain.
    With false premature sex maturation, high
    Content of men's sex hormones (androgens) or female genital
    hormones (estrogen); The reason can also be an adrenal tumor
    or eggs (ovary). These hormones do not cause the ripening of the genital glands,
    But with their excess, the child looks «As an adult».

    False premature sex ripening in combination with pathology
    bones, irregular skin pigmentation (coffee spots with milk) and
    Hormonal disorders are accompanied by syndrome
    McKun-Ol-Bright.

    Symptoms and diagnostics of premature puberty

    Both with true and with false premature sexual maturation
    Boy appear hair on face, under the mouse and on the pubis. Sexual
    Member is lengthened, an externally child begins to resemble an adult man.
    Girls may begin menstruation in the case of true
    Premature puberty or the development of mammary glands,
    appear pubic and axillary hair. And boys and girls
    Changes the smell of the body, eels can appear. Growth increases
    quickly, but stops at an early age, so the final
    Growth is less than the norm. With true premature sex
    ripening (rarely with false) testicles or ovaries increase and
    achieve the size characteristic of an adult.
    Diagnostic studies include the definition of hormone content in
    blood and radiographic studies of the brushes and wrists that
    Allows you to estimate the bone age. To identify possible tumors
    adrenal glands, hypothalamus and pituitary, conduct ultrasound
    Study (ultrasound) pelvis and adrenal glands, computed tomography (CT)
    or magnetic resonance tomography (MRI) brain.

    Treatment of premature puberty

    With true premature sex maturation recommended
    Hysterlin preparation (synthetic analog
    gonadotropin-rilizing factor) that stops production
    Gonadotropins in the hypophysies. If premature puberty is not
    associated with the early beginning of the production of gonadotropins (false
    Premature puberty), the doctor may try
    neutralize the action of sex hormones using various
    drugs. Antifungal means ketoconazole reduces content
    Testosterone circulating in blood in boys with dough-toxicosis.
    The drug, called testolactone, reduces the content of estrogen
    Teenagers with McKun-Albright syndrome.

    If true or false premature puberty is caused
    tumor, after removing the condition of the teenager normalizes.
