Guest guest Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Hi, all. Haven't posted in awhile, but I am freaked out because Teddy (age 7 3/4, with bilateral perisylvian polymicrogyria) has a few pubic hairs (not fuzz, but dark and curly) on his scrotum. Also, Teddy has had body odor for over a year, and needs to use deoderant. I looked it up online and it said signs of puberty in boys younger than nine is considered precocious (premature) puberty. It also said that, if untreated, premature puberty can result in children not attaining their full height, since they have their growth spurt earlier that they would normally. Premature puberty is more common in children with abnormal brain structure. So, once again I come to the experts to see if anyone else has faced this problem. I've made an appointment with our family doctor (thankfully for after Christmas!) to see what he thinks. I can't believe we may have to add another specialist to our list of doctor " friends.
