       Treatment for Precocious Puberty
       If your doctor thinks that your child has precocious puberty, he
       or she may refer you to a paediatric endocrinologist (a doctor
       who specializes in growth and hormonal disorders in children)
       for further evaluation and treatment. Once precocious puberty is
       diagnosed, the goal of treating it is to stop or even reverse
       sexual development and stop the rapid growth and bone maturation
       that can eventually result in adult short stature. Depending
       upon the cause, there are two possible approaches to treatment:
       1.
       2.
       stop sexual development from progressing
       Sometimes, treatment of a related health problem can stop the
       precocious puberty. But in most cases, no other disease is
       triggering the condition, so treatment usually involves hormone
       therapy to stop sexual development.
       In girls, breast size may decrease or at least there will be no
       further development. In boys, the **** and testicles may shrink
       back to the size expected for their age. Growth in height will
       also slow down to a rate expected for kids before puberty. A
       child's behaviour usually becomes more age-appropriate, too.
