I feel a lump in my breast; is this precocious puberty?

If breast buds are palpable and painful before the age of 8 (second grade), precocious puberty should be suspected. If secondary sexual characteristics appear early, the growth plates close prematurely, which can lead to a shorter adult height, so prompt examination is necessary.

너무 이른 봄은 꽃을 일찍 시들게 합니다.

  • 자가 진단: 아이가 가슴 부위를 부딪혔을 때 통증을 느끼거나, 옷에 스치는 자극에 예민하게 반응합니다.
  • 남아: 고환 크기가 커지지만 겉으로 잘 드러나지 않아 발견이 늦어지는 경우가 많습니다(만 9세 이전).
  • 검사: 뼈 나이 측정, 성호르몬 수치 검사, 난소 및 자궁 초음파를 통해 확진합니다.
⚠️ 골든타임

초경이 시작된 후에는 키가 5~7cm 정도만 더 자라게 됩니다. 따라서 초경 전 치료를 시작하는 것이 핵심입니다.
