Causes of precocious puberty include the following:
1. Familial or genetic factors.
2. Prolonged consumption of foods with relatively high hormone content.
3. Long-term exposure to chemical agents.
4. Underlying conditions such as hypothyroidism.
If precocious puberty is suspected, prompt evaluation at a reputable hospital is recommended. Diagnosis is typically confirmed through physical examination, blood tests, and imaging studies.
