Psychological precocity in girls is also a manifestation of precocious puberty, primarily characterized by breast development—often accompanied by tenderness—as well as external genital development, increased vaginal discharge, growth of pubic hair, and the onset of menstruation. Girls with precocious puberty are prone to premature closure of the epiphyseal growth plates, resulting in shorter stature compared to normally developing children. It can also cause endocrine hormone imbalances, leading to impaired physical development.
