Patients Present

1. Patients present with short stature, precocious puberty, small testis, and occasional bilateral testicular rests.

Signs

1. QUESTION- I have 7 months girl with a history of monthly vaginal bleeding for the last 3 months, without other signs of precocious puberty. (Web site)
2. Prepubertal vaginal bleeding without signs of precocious puberty may be infrequently caused by prolonged, untreated hypothyroidism. (Web site)

Normal Rate

1. Kids and teens who are affected by precocious puberty can be treated with medication that will help them develop at a normal rate. (Web site)

Associated

1. Rarely, these tumors are associated with precocious puberty or resumption of bleeding in a postmenopausal woman.

Girls

1. Leuprolide prescribed for children with precocious puberty will likely be discontinued by your child's doctor before age 11 for girls and age 12 for boys.

Gonadotropins

1. In some girls, precocious puberty with elevated levels of gonadotropins has been documented. (Web site)

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia

1. An advanced bone age is common when a child has had prolonged elevation of sex steroid levels, as in precocious puberty or congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
2. In men with a history of precocious puberty, one should consider congenital adrenal hyperplasia. (Web site)

First Manifestation

1. When thelarche occurs at an unusually early age, it may be the first manifestation of precocious puberty. (Web site)

Patients

2. Neurofibromatosis type 1 can in very rare cases be associated with hypothalamic hamartoma and central precocious puberty (441). (Web site)

Sexual Development

1. Precocious puberty: Early growth is often faster than normal, sexual development occurs early, after which growth slows so that the adult size may be small.
2. The abundant melatonin levels in children is believed to inhibit sexual development, and pineal tumors have been linked with precocious puberty. (Web site)
3. Sexual development may be delayed or may occur early (precocious puberty) in individuals with neurofibromatosis type 1. (Web site)

Puberty

1. Puberty as a problem See Precocious puberty See Delayed puberty See Menarche, gonadarche, pubarche, thelarche, adrenarche.
2. Early puberty which is natural in every way except age is termed idiopathic central precocious puberty.
3. Precocious puberty means early than normal onset of puberty.
