Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]

Treatments of precocious puberty depend on the cause.

• Treating the underlying cause or disease, such as a tumor, or disorders of the testicles, ovaries, or adrenal glands.
• Medications: The goal of medications is to help stop puberty until the child is closer to the normal time for sexual development.
• Psychosocial support: Appropriate psychosocial support for the child and family is important. Give your child a simple, truthful explanation about what’s happening. Prevent emotional problems, such as loss of interest in daily activitiesand depression from affecting your child.
