A member asked:
I was wondering what are the effects of precocious puberty?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Precocious puberty: Precocious puberty is pubertal development before age 8 in girls and age 9 in boys. The causes and outcomes are too complex to review here, but are divided into gdpp) early signals from the brain, and gipp) abnormal steroid production, from tumors or ingesting hormonal medication. Over 80% of gdpp in girls is idiopathic, meaning no cause is identified.
