[박승찬 하이키한의원 대표원장] Puberty is a natural phenomenon that occurs as children become adults. Additionally, children’s pubertal development is a topic that parents, medical staff, and our society must always pay attention to. In particular, precocious puberty among boys, which has recently been on the rise, has become an important concern. Let’s take a look at what parents should be aware of regarding puberty and precocious puberty in boys. Park Seung-chan, CEO of Haiki Oriental Medical Clinic First, there is a very close relationship between precocious puberty and height growth. Therefore, it is important to keep in mind that if precocious puberty is not treated and managed, there is a very high possibility that the final height will be short. If you have precocious puberty, even if you were taller than your peers in the 5th or 6th grade of elementary school, your height growth will stop following the first year of middle school. Therefore, if your height suddenly increases rapidly in the 4th, 5th, or 6th grade of elementary school, it is best to get tested at a specialized clinic.
Second, the symptoms of precocious puberty appear differently in each child. Boys in the 3rd and 4th grades of elementary school may have worse hair odor, become more irritable, try to sleep late, or become addicted to smartphones or games. If symptoms such as pubic hair and pubic hair appear before the 6th grade of elementary school, it is considered precocious puberty. Parents should pay more attention to these changes in their children’s bodies.
Third, to prevent precocious puberty, you must have proper nutrition and healthy habits. Childhood obesity is a representative cause of precocious puberty. Therefore, healthy eating habits and nutritional management are very important for preventing and treating precocious puberty. In addition, healthy lifestyle habits such as going to bed early, exercising daily, and reducing smartphone use are also important in preventing and treating precocious puberty.
Fourth, it is important to listen to expert advice. Many parents seem to have doubts regarding precocious puberty in boys. ‘It’s not like anything big is happening right now… ‘, ‘All men grow up like that… ‘ Together, we accept precocious puberty as not a big deal. However, following 2 to 3 years, you will find out what problems arise. And even if you regret it, you can’t take it back. Therefore, if you are diagnosed with precocious puberty, it is important to follow an expert’s advice and treatment and management plan.
Recently, precocious puberty in boys has been on the rise. I believe that if we can prepare in advance starting from the lower grades of elementary school, we can reduce the personal and social losses caused by precocious puberty.
