    Glossary Precocious Puberty

    early onset of puberty before age 8 in girls

    Precocious puberty, also known as early puberty, is a condition where a child's body begins to develop into that of an adult (puberty) at an unusually early age, typically before age 8 in girls and before age 9 in boys. This early onset of puberty can lead to rapid growth, development of secondary sexual characteristics, and potential psychological and social challenges. It may be caused by various factors, including hormonal imbalances, genetic conditions, or underlying medical issues.
