Central Precocious Puberty: What Parents Need to Know
Central Precocious Puberty or CPP is when puberty begins before age 8 for girls, and before age 9 for boys and occurs in 1 out of every 5,000 to 10,000 children. Puberty at any age can be a challenge but can be even more overwhelming when it occur in children too early. It's important to know the signs and symptoms of CPP, which is driven by early hormone secretion. In certain rare cases, these signs may also indicate the presence of an underlying condition. So, it’s important to consult with a pediatrician if a child shows signs of CPP, such as body odor, body hair, acne/oily skin, breast buds in girls, mensuration or moodiness. It's important to discuss with your pediatrician if you suspect your child has these symptoms. We'll meet with Director of the Precocious Puberty Division of the Magic Foundation and find out what we need to watch out for in our children.
