Oh dear,oh dear.........
PROBLEM ONE
PUBERTY AT 6YEARS
Hi Stella,
Please help me put this in your 'Doctors In House Section' maybe I can get valuable suggestions from blog visitors on what to do:
My daughter is 6 (not 7 till August).
I noticed my daughter having dark hair on her vagina and pimples on her face.
I have read a few bits and pieces which say puberty is normal from age 9-12 sometimes as early as 8, but 6!!!
We went to the hospital and they have done series of tests (Blood, Xray and scan)..No obvious cause was found.
Does anyone have any experience of this. Is there any natural thing I can do to delay puberty??..Please help I feel a bit lost.
what!!!...Oh dear,oh dear...
I pray God gives you the grace to deal with this situation but please do not try to alter anything so that you do not spoil anything.
Puberty at 6 years? Oh dear oh dear!!!
never heard of it...oo...lemme read comments
ReplyDeletePoster most times it genetic. Its an obvious sign she'll start menstruating really early. There are drugs and sprays you can use to stop her hormones from developing but you can't say what that'll do to he young system. Left to me I'd say you leave her be and just talk to her about the changes in her body. I remember as early as js1 some girls had already started menstruating and that's 10years, while some like me started in ss1. Don't mess with her system please
DeleteI think the artifical food we feed these kids are the cause of their early maturity. Parents should try raising their kids with healthy and organic meals, again it could be a case of one in a million
DeleteI don't think you should activate your panic button yet Just watch her closely
it's normal joor. my baby sister started developg breast when she was 7 .calm down
DeleteBring her to me, I know what to do so her
DeleteNaija in a bit!
DeleteMe too, May God give her the strength to deal with this.
DeleteI know a neighbours daughter back then in enugu that has underarm hairs at 5 years old.
DeleteThe dad is a medical doctor, he said its normal.
Na wa of I feel for u
DeleteThis is a first
Delete@6!!!
DeleteI don't know what to say ooooo. I will just read comments and learn. But like anon 12:16 said 'do not active your panic button yet' wish all mothers the strength and wisdom to carry the heavy duty.
Am out!
Smeag Njoku, may your 6 year old be fondled by a man when the time comes
DeleteOh my God!!! That's quite early. What did the doctor have to say is the cause? Is it normal
Delete@Bloglord, he take make person open mouth na. I hope it's not a medical sickness abeg
DeleteHmmmmm
ReplyDeleteWhat won't we read on here..
If you live in the Uk (East London)and you need a tailor,call this number for your contemporary African designs 07940271162.Business only please.
DeleteAnon 14.43 why not open an account for yourself and display your handwork in photos? These days people don't go with word of tailor it's what they can see. I am looking for a tailor and I live in South East London.

ReplyDeleteSince blood tests have been done, I suggest you leave her alone please
Puberty at 6??!! Never heard of that before.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmn!
ReplyDeleteFast and pray about it. God can make a miracle happen.
Bwahahahaha..............
DeleteWhat other miracle are U asking for?????
Madam pls let her be.
Lol...JayEm is in the spirit! fasting and prayer works tho.
DeleteMy dad actually fasted n prayed that I don't get to puberty till am out of secondary school, cos he felt I could be easily tricked by em boys. He said I was so naive and appeared gullible. And his prayers worked, I had to go beg him to reverse his prayers when I got admission into uni still looking like a secondary school girl. I had small boobs, tiny ass/hips, I wasn't looking appealing to any lingering guy, lol.
Thank God today, I look sexy but still petite and looking quite young for my age, could pass for a teenager!
So madam, you too can pray about it just the way by dad did if you're so scared.
Google precious puberty and premature andranache to get some answers.
ReplyDeleteThe word is precocious puberty not precious
DeleteHmmmm... Different strokes for different folks! Mine started really late oooooooo I had no single pubic hair till my 1st year in Uni... I think I even saw my first period at 17yrs... I felt really abnormal!

ReplyDeleteI must go anonymous of this topic
ReplyDeleteDear poster I was in your situations some months ago when I saw same same tiny pubic hairs on my son that was when he turned 6 as well but he's so grown that everyone that sees him thinks hes 8 years. He's 137 cm tall. First thing I did I called my bf and asked him if it was normal but he said he got no clue. Then I called a dermatologist booked an appointment but never cared to go again reason because I thought that was how God made him. Each day I tried to worry less about it since the hairs ain't grouwing much
Show your daughter more love poster and worry less about the hairs God knows best
BLOG ANALYSER: @ poster please read this. Its important
DeleteJust go anonymous Dear.
DeleteNo need to inform us. There's no fine for it.
I'm speechless! Doctors in the house over to you!
ReplyDeletePlease do not try to do anything since it's not disturbing her, you will only end up causing her complications if you try to...
ReplyDeleteBut, do you know there are people who are naturally gifted with hair? I'm from such family. If you see my immediate elder sister when we were much younger, you will understand better.
Let her be please. You can only help her out in shaving it till she's mature enough to decide if she's gonna leave or get rid of them.
»Jealous SDKer«
Don't shave it please!!! It will only make it plenty! Just let her B! My son is around dat age wen hair came out too an he's 11yrs now an d hair is still scanty. Pls pay more attention to her an talk to her about sex my daughter is 4yrs an wen she comes back 4rm anywhere xpecially skool I asked her wat happen did anyone touch etc pls b more close to her!! I don tire to type
DeleteShe should shave it? That's a wrong advice my dear. Once she starts shaving it the hair will grow more and constantly
DeleteLet her let the hair be
Wow.....dats so early at 6. Children with rapid growth. @ poster, pls just leave her d way she is.
ReplyDeletethings are changing and nottin is impossible, always keep an eye on her shaa
ReplyDeletesee an endocrinologist at a general hospital or private one if you can afford it.they would check her hormones.
ReplyDeletepele
Abeg let nature take its course.... we can't all b d same so i wud advice u let her grow as she should instead of finding a way to delay it. She's fast that's all
ReplyDeletePls dnt do any thing to delay her puberty,it's nature!your daughter is fine
ReplyDelete@ poster, I can imagine the feeling.... OMG. My younger sister nearly died when she discovered stain of blood on her 9 years old daughter, We thought someone manhandled her, for where?, a visit to the hospital proved its mensuration. You need to see the mother that day... Life is like that, every one with his or her destiny. I heard that people that start early ends it late. Just google it
ReplyDeleteMenstruation. You're welcome darling.
DeleteGOOGLE SAYS :
ReplyDeleteTreatment for Precocious Puberty
If your doctor suspects that your child has precocious puberty, he or she may refer you to a pediatric endocrinologist (a doctor who specializes in growth and hormonal disorders in children) for further evaluation and treatment.
Once it's diagnosed, the goal of treating precocious puberty is to halt or even reverse sexual development and stop the rapid growth and bone maturation that can eventually result in adult short stature.
Depending upon the cause, there are two possible approaches to treatment:
-treating the underlying cause or disease, such as a tumor
-lowering the high levels of sex hormones with medication to stop sexual development from progressing
In some cases, treatment of an underlying health problem can stop the precocious puberty from progressing.
But in most cases, because there's no other disease triggering the condition, treatment usually consists of hormone therapy that stops sexual development.
The currently approved hormone treatment is with drugs called LHRH analogs — synthetic hormones that block the body's production of the sex hormones that are causing the early puberty.
Dramatic results are usually seen within a year of starting treatment with an LHRH analog, which is generally safe and usually causes no side effects in kids.
In girls, breast size may decrease — or at least there will be no further development. In boys, the penis and testicles may shrink back to the size expected for their age. Growth in height will also slow down to a rate expected for kids before puberty. A child's behavior usually becomes more age appropriate as well.
This weoyuld be very helpful for the poster.
DeleteThumbs up babes!
*would
DeleteThis is d kind of thing Rubbynia does.
DeleteThanks Baby.
Poster,herein lies Ur answers.
Lool I like how you put the 'Google says' unlike kehinde ake that'll copy and paste like its from his oblangata
DeleteGood work Goldscent. Poster she has made d job easy for u. Good luck.
DeleteRubbynia has sold you out and I suspect she is the one that write those rubbish with her madam from yonda.rubbynnia is a pretender and if I were you I'd be wary of her . Ezenwanyi be careful.
DeleteAnon 3:48, you had me in stitches. Sometimes some of you just type as you see person with your two koro koro eyes double playing.
DeleteI've disagreed with some of Ezenwanyi comments here but to rubbish someone anonymously is something I WILL and CAN NEVER DO. I don't do anonymous posting. Either I post with my name or maintain my peace.
What's wrong in writing good about someone I admire? Yeah, I admire Eya. So because she and Ezenwanyi no gree, make I no admire her again?
Abeg remove me from your conspiracy theory. I don't do all that rough games.
I've known Ezenwanyi from WC when she started using queen of the coast name. So because she mentions my name, I can mention another simply because she n the person aren't in good terms.
All you have written is PURE & UNDILUTED GIBBERISH.
Atleast I comment with my name but you?
Nobody should include me in all these gibberish; it's not my area of specialisation. If you are 1000% SURE TO YOUR BONE I'm double playing/speaking, then talk. If not, hold your peace.
THANK YOU!
PS: In your attempt to discredit me, you misspelt my name. It's "Rubynnia" not Rubbynia or Rubbynnia. Thank you.
I was 8 years old when i started developing breast. And then at 9 years old, i started wearing bra. As of then, i felt so ashamed of myself wearing bra at that tender age. I can remember going to the toilet in school to remove my bra cos i felt i was the only one wearing that in school coupled with the Shame it caused me. My dear, i wish i could help you on how to delay puberty in kids. I think you should sit your daughter down and lecture her about sex and how to to overcome the sweet tongue from guys who might want to lure her into having sex with them. Teach her all these on time before she starts seeing her menses to avoid had i known.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds just like my experience as well. It was a really difficult time in my life. I was constantly embarassed about my breast at d age of 8 so I started hunching my back until my class teacher told my aunty to get me a bra! OMG d bra caused new form of embarrassment. To make things worse I started menstruation at 9 too. It's all good sha not very good memories of those times.
DeleteOh my.. Never heard of that...

ReplyDeleteStella is such a drama queen, ewo tun ni grace on top early puberty...LOL?! Madam stop embarassing the young lass by making her a public spectacle taking her to one dr or the other. Times are changing, rain falls during harmattan now.

You are definitely from LLB.
DeleteAll those you mentioned rocked LLB and showed face only a few times here.
With the exception of Lucabracee.
He rocked here and had his usual controversy on Lola Okoye's matter.
He holds the record of generating the most hateful responses (Goldie's death's post)
I miss him o.
You forgot fanstuff, julit, who else sef? I'm sure there are others, can't recall now.
DeleteChai I miss luca too o. I ruffled him before we became padi padi...and ZOOM he metamorphosed into thing air.
DeleteHe would talk about the Ayokus, the okoyas, the sijuades, baba Ijebu and his opeke wife, the dangotes, Otedolas and so on. Dayummm Luca knew every single one on first hand basis. Lmaoo.
He seemed to have been present in their family meetings where they deliberated on every issue. Lmaoo. Oh Luca, where art thou?
I won't forget when a rep of the Ayokus pasted a memo for Luca to stop mentioning them on blogs Ahahah. BVS finished Luca that day ehn. And like Goldscent mentioned, the Goldie ish was epic. This blog nearly catch fire that day ehn Lmaooo.
And someone started trailing Luca, that he was miserable in the UK collecting unemployment benefit Lwkmd. The thing pain luca ehn..
Oh come all yea faithful, una come back na. Please I beg. I miss luca o. Where are mama and baba Ijebu too sef? And Billie Jean? Lol
Cook zobo for her to drink,my food BCH professor said it is gud for managing diabetes but it delays puberty.

ReplyDeleteI started growing breasts when I was in primary 3 and 9 years old. I had pimples then too. It doesn't change anything. I'm now in my 30s. It didn't make me sleep around. Your daughter is fine. Fear not
ReplyDeleteEarly bloomer? Wow
ReplyDeletePoster its called precocious puberty.
ReplyDeleteIt has a lot of causative factors which includes body weight and fat mass on little girls.
Pls see a qualified obgyn. Its a rare case
Ohhhh!There is nothing you can do to delay puberty,just accept her the way she is and pray for her too.Maybe it runs in your family,ask questions.It could be hormonal or her diet but a pediatric endocrinologist should examine her and tell you if its normal or not.
ReplyDeleteDunno what's causing it but kids of nowaday are growing way faster than we ever did. Madam, I think its natural.
ReplyDeleteThat anony that keeps getting under comments to blab abt me, abeg na, be brave enough to use ur blog Id let's see if u cn actually stand d heat

Under 16 like you shouldn't be visiting this blog.
DeleteWhat! I feel ur pain. But the way kids develop these days ehen, u will be shocked. Maybe it is the food we are feeding them with sef.
ReplyDeleteThis is really strange. Heard kids of this generation mature faster and that is why you'll see a 12 years old girl looking so mature and bursty like that of an 18 years old...
ReplyDeleteI think you should worry too much. Maybe hers will start early. Visit the hospital and if you are assured that all is well, then worry less and pray more
So it begins! It is becoming a norm for young girls even as young as 6 to xperience puberty, tho such cases are underreported in nigeria. Before I can say further on this issue pls tell us hw tall she is and if she has started developing breast. Because there are lots of tins that trigger early puberty but only one u shud be totally worried about.
ReplyDeleteWhy on earth will someone choose to bear ring worm. Na wa ooo
DeleteOh my gosh! Since you have been to the hospital and nothing abnormal was found,I'd say just keep a close watch on her.at this particular juncture,if you haven't had the sex talk with her,pls do so now! Reason being that if truly she is at the stage of puberty,its likely she will start mensurating at 8yrs..I have seen such cases.and I don't need to stress the importance of the sex talk to you.make your daughter understand at this stage that you are her best friend,let her know that she can come to you for any kind of talk or advice about her bodily changes..its a scary thought,yes.just pray for God's guidiance all the way..and still seek medical help in a diff hospital if you can,it may just be some kind of hormonal imbalance afterall..
ReplyDeleteHMMM...THE TINS WE HEAR OR SEE SOMETIMES....TINS HAVE REALLY CHANGED MY DEAR! I RECENTLY NOTICED A SPOT ON MY 2YRS DAUGHTER,TOOK HER TO THE CLINIC BUT THEY SAID IT MIGHT BE TRAUMA OR SHE FELL ....I PRAY GOD HELP US PARENTS!
ReplyDeleteO my world#coversmyopenmouth#....I have never heard of this before.
ReplyDeleteThank God you covered yours unlike chick Felix (pun on chick F)
DeleteI have seen An 8 year old got pregnant and birth a baby vaginally, wonderful, in it? .
ReplyDeleteYour child's case is unusual but guess what, this is 2015 and ur baby might have unleashed another generation of early puberty starters. The 80s' puberty age is quite different from that of the 90s. So madam, just relax and educate your child properly. You'll soon see her likes with time, trust me.
8years old?
DeleteAs long as her breasts aren't getting bigger already,if it is,you press it back inside. Fullstop.
ReplyDeleteHow quaint.
DeletePuberty @ 6yr? Are u kidding me? This is serious, never heard of anything like this before. Hian! Pls madam the least u can do now is to beware of her sorrounding and make her your case study. You never know what u can find out on ur own.
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is experiencing precocious puberty likely caused congenital adrenal hyperplasia or any tumor within the brain...go to a teaching hospital and see a consultant paediatrician,you would be told to do a CTscan
ReplyDeleteMy daughter start puberty at d age of 5 yrs 8 months, she's grown lot of hair in her vagina and a little in her armpit, and now she's developing breast, she's just 7 yrs in November 2014, am in uk and series of test have been done but they found nothing, I was told they will delay it if she's developing breast, so I have another appointment in February so I will let them know about the d breast development and see what will be next thing to do, don't worry too much about it, it is called puberty adrenache. And when she's like 7yrs old u will also notice dat when she played too much her armpit will smell, just buy kids rollon for her to be using after taking a bath in d morning and night. Hope dis will help.
ReplyDeleteI typed a lengthy comment and poof it dissappeared. Poster there's nothing to be alarmed about, it's called precocious puberty. Sometime last year, I noticed hair on my 6 yr old daughters vagina while bathing her. I felt as if they poured cold water on my body. I did my research, it's perfectly ok. You can then imagine the horror I felt when she told me one day some months before she turned 7 that she has pains on her breast. I felt it, and yep there was a bud. My 6 years soon to be seven was growing boobs. For now it's just one breast that is prominent, though the other one is beginning to show signs of coming out as well. My advice to you is do not give her any drugs to stall the growth. Chances are she won't even start seeing her period till she's like 10 or 11. Just embrace this phase with her and teach her the right things about her body. Above all, be on guard and shine your eyes. Lots of perverts about.
ReplyDeleteIt's just early puberty,nothing to worry about
ReplyDeleteChildhood puberty
ReplyDeleteScary stuff.
Poster though it's worrisome, please try not to bear it so much in mind.
She seems to be maturing waaaaaaaay before her peers.
Early puberty isn't a problem,I tink her hormones were released quickly maybe due to environmental reasons or genetic mutation,there's nothing wrong with her,just protect her darling

ReplyDeleteCaring for Your Child
Give your child a simple, truthful explanation
about what's happening. Explain that these
changes are normal for older kids and teens, but
that his or her body has started developing a little
too early. Keep your child informed about
treatment and what can be expected along the
way.
Also be sure to watch for signs that teasing or
other difficulties associated with precocious
puberty may be affecting your child's emotional
development. Common warning signs to discuss
with your doctor include:
poor grades
problems at school
loss of interest in daily activities
depression
How you cope with the issue can also determine
how successfully your child will cope. The goal is
to prevent kids from dwelling on sexual
development or developing a poor self-image or
low self-esteem . To create a supportive
environment, try not to focus your comments on
appearance; instead, offer praise for achievements
in school or sports and support your child's
participation in other activities.
The important thing to remember is that kids with
precocious puberty can be treated. Doctors can
help them preserve their adult height potential as
well as limit the emotional and social difficulties
they may face from maturing early.
Poster put your mind at rest!
ReplyDeleteA large study published in the Journal"Pediatric" found that 10% of white girls, 15% of Hispanic girls and 2% of Asian girls start growing breast or experiencing puberty by d age of 7, but that earlier breast development hasn't generally been accompanied by an early first period.
Researchers are still trying to figure out why some girls developing earlier.Typically, girls who go through puberty early fall into two camps, "Girls with diagnosable disorders like central precocious puberty, & girls who simply develop on the early side of the normal curve. "Young girls who are overweight are more likely to enter puberty early than thinner girls"...says Researchers, and also some chemicals, like the flame retardant PBB, can alter a young girl's timing by changing her hormone level.Stress can disrupt puberty timing as well.
Some parents help their daughters train 5k runs, as exercise can help prevent early puberty, others remove hormone-laden milk and meat from their homes, even give supplement intended to help the body balance its hormones. All did not work!
Perhaps the best bet for parents is to be open with their daughters about what happening to their bodies be "BRUTALLY HONEST" yet "KIND", let them know that everyone goes through the awkwardness of puberty at some points-some sooner than others.
Please don't go as far as to use hormone-suppressing drugs, just let it be and continue to educate and guide her on this stage of life she going to pass through.
*All the very best*
I don't think is a problem. All my anuty's children start early at 6. The first son is 6 when I started living with them and he has hair already I was like what at 6 hmmmmm is only the 3rd child that do not start that early. So is not a problem, the first two has just entered uni last Nov
ReplyDeleteIts weird to know and even more scary because you are with her but I want you to relax. That is God's way of creating her. Stop being panicky and leave her alone. All she needs now is love and when she's a little not older like 10 years start teaching her sex education. Meanwhile, please keep an eye on her very well
ReplyDeleteoh dear,u need to go and read the rubbish been said about you on lailas post titled to whom it may concern..but please dont start ranting because if you wer truly a friend,you for ask her what is happening or ask her to step forward as you always say.i lov you still but if you cant take it,dont give it.
ReplyDeletePoster pls understand dt civilisation is bringing more changes.If u closely look at children of dis century u will notice dat they re wiser to compare to before lik 19th century.
ReplyDeleteDon't be afraid to lecture ur daugther bcos she will perfectly understand. In my own family we mature on time dat by 9 and 10 menses have even started so its no big deal bcos early maturity is in my mummy's lineage.
Talk and educate ur girl to avoid any one taking advantage of her.
Sweet Jay.
wow nice things going on here, beautiful
ReplyDeleteSee a pediatric endocrinologist, she'd be fine...and please do not give any drugs to slow it down.
ReplyDeleteI don't think anything is wrong o. I think she's just matruing fast. It's the generation they are in. My niece started having boobies at 6 and even flickers of pubic hair.
ReplyDeleteNa the jet-age boh, relax jor.
But pray hard and shine your eyes. If you haven't, begin Sex-education ASAP. Perverts everywhere o.
Eyah I know ur fear, jst leave her its nature doing her tin o, I nearly had a heart attack wen I saw breast on my lil sista's chest. She is just one of the special ones. I didn't mensurate until I was 18 and I started growing breast like reallyyyy late, itsno biggie,Educate her and put it all in Gods hand
ReplyDeletePoster..
ReplyDeleteI've read down n people who have similar cases have dropped comments. So I think it's nothing to worry about; only you ll have to get very close to ur daughter and start the sex talk. All the best.
Wow this is great,never heard of it
ReplyDeleteMaybe she is hairy. We noticed my sister has pubic hair when she was 7, but for the pimples I can't say.
ReplyDeleteI think it's normal - some people start early, you know
ReplyDeleteIts all this food we eat that causes all this nonsense o.Early puberty is not a disease .its the result of what we put in coupled with the genetic make up of the child.
ReplyDeleteWhat you need to start doing right now is sex education .sex educate your child so that men don't mess up with her at all,be more affectionate n ask her questions ,do not shave pubic hair o n do not alter anything about her .Buy cleanser for her for the pimples n please reduce the quantity of the oil on ur food for the sake of this girl.Everything is gonna be alright
Na wa. Hope you don't have any wandering prick in that your house. I wonder how a six year old would try to understand what you mean by sex. Seems too early. But time for you care for her greatly. Before a six year becomes a mother.
ReplyDeleteSounds kinda strange. But there is always a first time. Just let your daughter be.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.becos he is soo flabagasted right now! ewo!
ReplyDeleteDear poster, please, please and please I'm begging you...do not ' do nothing'.....
ReplyDeleteThere are many reasons precocious puberty especially for ages 5-8 are alarming....
First is that it may be a tumor ( brain)
Even when that is ruled out, it does not mean it is harmful...
What would happen if you leave her like it is is that she will end up bring shorter than her friends cos of the burst of growth she has now ( by the time others are going through puberty, hers would've stalled) it is not yet scientifically proven why it is so
The treatment is to give her a hormonal injection which will slow down her growth to normal...and by the time it is stopped in the next 3 years, normalcy would return to her growth hormones

Madam, I was in primary 2 when I started growing hair everywhere including my head (lol) and three of my primary school mate then started their periods in primary 4 and four more followed including myself in primary 5.As for the hair I see no big deal. I remember showing my mum that time and she said "Ehen too much milk and milo." I might be wrong sha but from what I can remember, there was no big deal and I'm not short( 5"8 ) or brain damaged or have any issue of any sort. If it was her period then that's an issue but pubic hair? I don't see a big deal. Calm down there's nothing wrong with your daughter.
ReplyDeleteShe's got a hairy body. I think it's normal just a speedy process...
ReplyDeleteMadam - if you relax your child's hair, I'll advise you to stop it immediately. Some relaxers are known to contain estrogen mimicking qualities. Increased estrogen in a 6 year old will definitely trigger puberty.

ReplyDeleteShe should be examined by a paediatric endocrinologist. Ask for a referral letter from the hospital you went to. Ask to be referred to a teaching hospital.
