Signs of puberty may also appear prematurely because of abnormalities of the ovaries and testicles. Your child's pediatrician may want to do some tests to determine the cause of your child's condition. If your doctor determines treatment is necessary, he or she may prescribe medication to stop puberty and the rapid growth that accompanies it. Rapid bone growth can cause your child's height to be shorter than his or her natural potential. Within a month or two of treatment, you should notice your child's rapid growth and signs of puberty slowing.
Treatment continues until it is appropriate for puberty to resume.
