There are two types of precocious puberty: central precocious puberty and peripheral precocious puberty. The cause of this type of precocious puberty often isn't known. With central precocious puberty, puberty starts too soon but develops as usual.
Central precocious puberty (CPP) is characterized by the same biochemical and physical features as normally timed puberty but occurs at an abnormally early age. Most cases of CPP are seen in girls, in whom it is usually idiopathic. In contrast, ∼50 % of boys with CPP have an identifiable cause.
There are two types of precocious puberty: Central precocious puberty. This type is more common. It's just like normal puberty, but it happens early. The pituitary gland starts making...
Central Precocious puberty (CPP) This type of precocious puberty represents true pubertal development due to the earlier maturation and activation of the HPG axis. Most of the time, the common cause in females is idiopathic, and in males, there is usually an underlying pathology.
Central precocious puberty is a condition that causes early sexual development in girls and boys. Explore symptoms, inheritance, genetics of this condition.
Central precocious puberty is the more common type. It occurs when your child’s brain releases sex hormones (androgens) too early. Other names for central precocious puberty include gonadotropin-dependent precocious puberty and true precocious puberty.
Central precocious puberty (CPP) represents an abnormal acceleration of pubertal development, characterized by the premature emergence of secondary sexual characteristics, advanced skeletal maturation, and accelerated physical growth in affected children.
Children with peripheral precocious puberty need more testing to find the cause of their condition. This might include more blood tests to check hormone levels or, in girls, an ultrasound to check for an ovarian cyst or tumor. The primary goal of treatment is for children to grow to adult height.
Central precocious puberty (CPP) refers to early activation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal (HPG) axis and is manifested by breast development in girls or testicular enlargement in boys before the normal physiological age ranges.
Central precocious puberty results from the premature activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. It mimics physiological pubertal development, although at an inappropriate chronological age (before 8 years in girls and 9 years in boys).
