Let me bring lunch to school, my mother regretted discovering the cause of puberty soon makes everyone surprised

8-year-old Tingting in Hangzhou (China) is 1.3m high. Recently, her mother discovered her breast gland has grown quite large. Meanwhile, children of the same age should not have happened. Soon after, Mother Tingting took her to the hospital to check.

After hearing the mother's words, the doctor thought that this was not a good phenomenon, so required X-ray of her hand. The results showed that Tingting's age of bone was equivalent to that of an 11-year-old, 3 years older than her actual age. This shows that Tingting showed signs of puberty early in life. Although she is only a few centimeters taller than the average height of 8-year-old children (1.28m), it is 12cm lower than the average height of 11-year-old children. As predicted by the doctor, in the future the height of the baby is just under 1.5m.

The doctor further explained, the development of Tingting's chest can be inhibited during treatment but bone age cannot be reduced but only delayed. Hearing the doctor say, Tingting's mother was bewildered, crying.

The mother said she was very interested in her daughter's diet, did not let her eat fast food, nor played the phone too much. She did not understand what made girls develop so early.

The doctor asked more about Tingting's home utensils, the mother said that it was mostly plastic. Her daughter's lunch box is also plastic and she shows the doctor a picture of her lunch box. The doctor looked at it and said that the box was stained because it was often heated by a microwave oven, some of the plastic was burnt.

He explained that plastic lunch boxes that are heated and reused every day are easy to precipitate estrogen-like substances such as phthalate and bisphenol A in plastics. These substances are difficult to metabolize in the baby's body. Even if the plastic box does not contain bisphenol A components it may also contain alternative ingredients. There have also been a number of case studies showing early puberty is basically due to the use of a plastic lunch box.

4 causes of early puberty parents need to pay special attention:

According to Prof. La Tieu Binh, Head of Pediatrics Department, Dong Te Hospital, Wuhan, Vice Chairman of the Chinese Association of Children's Sciences, how is considered early puberty, many parents are also vague about this concept.

Firstly , the first factor that causes early puberty is genetics, with about a quarter of premature puberty being recognized by genetic factors from family generations, most of which are hereditary from father, gene inside.

Secondly , if a child is chubby, or is overweight or obese, parents should be cautious, children who are overweight or obese will increase the risk of early puberty, girls will There is more risk than boys in this regard.

Thirdly , the situation of children being overweight is also a potential contributor to early puberty. A survey of early puberty in the UK shows that children who maintain a high-protein diet, eat a lot of meat, can lead to age before age, thereby risking early puberty.

Fourth, environmental pollution, especially detergents, pesticides and industrial plastics and products that are difficult to decompose are substances that can produce a variety of endocrine disorders, leading to early development of the reproductive system in children.
