Core Tip

Core Tip: Combining Zhibai dihuang pills with gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue (GnRHa) and dietary intervention significantly improves growth outcomes and ovarian function in girls with precocious and rapidly progressive puberty. In this study, girls treated with this combination showed lower rates of growth and bone age advancement, along with reduced levels of key hormones, compared to a control group receiving only GnRHa and diet intervention. This study highlighted the enhanced efficacy and safety of the combined treatment and provides a promising intervention for managing precocious puberty.
