My mother brought Xiaoting (pseudonym), who is more than 9 years old, to the outpatient clinic. The mother said that Xiaoting had a little red discharge these days, and she was worried that her first period would come soon, so she wanted to come to the clinic to see.

My mother mentioned: "In fact, Xiaoting began to develop breasts more than a year ago. At that time, a friend introduced that she could drink fried malt water for treatment. We have been drinking it seriously since then. It was fine before, but why? In the past few days, there has been a light red discharge from the vagina, is it possible that menstruation is coming soon?!"

Please read on...

After interrogation and examination, it was found that in addition to the development of breasts, Xiaoting's pubic hair and armpit hair were also obvious, and genital discharge had also appeared for a while, but it was light yellow or white discharge before, and the discharge in the past few days A reddish color starts to appear.

In addition, Xiaoting usually goes to bed late, and also likes to eat high-calorie food or fried food. In order to make Xiaoting grow well enough, her mother did not restrict her eating habits.

My mother asked suspiciously: "Did we drink fried malt water by mistake? Doesn't it mean that it can delay development?" In fact, part of it is right, but part of it is wrong.

Multi-pronged approach to achieve full therapeutic effect

Stir-fried malt water can indeed delay the breast development of some children, but it must be drunk at the right time.

The signs of maturity in children are not limited to chest development, and there are many factors that lead to early maturity. Drinking only fried malt water cannot completely control the tendency of premature maturity, and the child's original physical factors must also be considered.

Children with a hot constitution or heavy phlegm dampness are prone to precocious or accelerated maturation. If they do not improve through physical conditioning, but only drink fried malt water, they will not be able to fully help the treatment of early development.

In addition, the work, rest and diet also need to be adjusted at the same time, such as going to bed early, eating less fried or high-calorie food, taking enough water every day, and exercising more, etc., to achieve the full therapeutic effect.

Therefore, if you want to regulate treatment for early development or precocious puberty, please do not blindly take folk remedies or commercially available food and nutrition products. Be sure to consult a professional TCM pediatrician to find out the conditioning treatment policy suitable for your child, so as to achieve the best Effect.

After all, the turning point of a child's growth and development is only once in a lifetime!
