My daughter is 18 months old and the endocrinologist speculates that she has precocious puberty. Most likely he'll want to treat it with Lupron but Ive heard horror stories about that drug and would prefer to go a more natural route for treatment. I dont know what avenues I can take? Any suggestions?
Why do they think she has that? I was just looking up the ways they suspect that stuff. It said if you don't do something about it they won't reach full height because their growth stops way too early.
why do they suspect it? have you gotten a second opinion?
I started to notice that my daughter had a breast bump and that one of her bumps started to get bigger. That's the only symptom. The endocrinologist said he was certain that she has precocious puberty and ordered blood tests, an ultrasound of her overies to check for an ovarian cyst or tumor, and an xray of her hand to check bone growth. We go in next week to get the results of the tests to see what's causing it. Essentially something in her body is telling it to release an excess of estrogen.
