Question Category : Puberty
Hello Dr. Meena, My daughter is 71/2 years old.. She is developing pubic hair and there is a slight hair growth in her under arm region. In fact I spotted her first pubic hair when she turned 5. There is absolutely no development of breasts. She weighs 26 kgs and is of normal height. She's a very bright girl and outwardly there is no sign of any physical abnormality. Is this a case of precocious puberty? What kind of tests should I go in for and treatments? Kindly advice.
