Early puberty could be symptomatic of a tumour.
CHENNAI: Until a few years ago, the expected age for a girl to attain puberty was between 12-16 years, but today girls as young as eight reach puberty. While initially doctors considered such cases unusual, these days they’re beginning to accept this as the norm, attributing the reasons to lifestyle and environmental changes. Yet there are some doctors who urge parents to get their young daughters tested because signs of puberty at a very early age could be symptom for a tumour.
