Q. Is precocious puberty also treated together?

A.

Yes, herbal therapy controlling hormones helps slow progression.

📝 Detailed Answer

Precocious puberty (girls developing under 8, boys under 9) can lead to early growth plate closure and short adult stature. Korean medicine approach: ① calm overheated yang energy with herbs, ② regulate stress and sleep, ③ improve diet and obesity. Coordinated care with a pediatric endocrinologist is recommended; combined Western hormone therapy may achieve better results. Early detection and intervention are most important.
