It takes several months for the child's pseudo development to improve

Pseudo development in children usually resolves on its own within 3-6 months. Pseudo development refers to the situation where children exhibit secondary sexual characteristics without actual gonadal development, which may be related to factors such as diet, environmental hormone exposure, and short-term endocrine fluctuations. The duration of pseudodevelopment is closely related to the triggering factors. If caused by improper short-term diet or brief exposure to external hormones, such as excessive intake of hormone containing supplements or off-season fruits, symptoms often subside within a few months after adjusting the diet. Some children experience an increase in estrogen conversion due to obesity, and symptoms gradually improve after weight control. During the observation period, it is necessary to regularly monitor bone age and hormone levels to avoid excessive intervention. A small number of children with pseudodevelopment lasting more than six months may be related to chronic diseases or genetic metabolic abnormalities. Diseases such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia or hypothalamic hamartoma can lead to persistent precocious puberty and require diagnosis through magnetic resonance imaging and genetic testing. Long term exposure to environmental endocrine disruptors such as plasticizers may also prolong the pseudodevelopmental process and require environmental exposure assessment.

It is recommended that parents record the timeline of their child's developmental changes and avoid blindly using drugs that inhibit development. Pay attention to choosing seasonal ingredients in daily life, reduce the use of plastic tableware for heating, and maintain moderate exercise. Re check the growth rate and bone age changes every 3 months. If the breasts or testicles continue to enlarge for more than 6 months, timely medical attention should be sought from the pediatric endocrinology department to rule out true precocious puberty.
