Abstract:
Based on the theory of the uterus is an extraordinary fu （腑） organ， it is believed that the core pathogenesis of precocious puberty in girls is the dysfunction of the uterus in storing and draining， while the basis of the disease is the delicate and vulnerable zang fu （脏腑） organs； the imbalance of qi and blood in the Chong and Ren mai （冲任） is the key link of the pathogenesis， and five zang （脏） organs dysharmony is responsible for the prolongation of the disease. For treatment， it is advocated to conform to the physiological characteristics that zang fu organs are delicate and fragile in girls， focus on regulating the uterus， and take into account the harmonization of the zang fu organs； the method of consolidating and nourishing yin is suggested as the basic treatment method， and self-made Xingzaoshu Formula （性早熟方） is commonly used. Considering that the uterus of girls is delicate and vulnerable， neutral medicinals are mainly used， and drastic supplementation and strong attack are avoided； pulse administration of Chinese herbal medicine is advocated. Since the condition of precocious puberty is often prolonged， Chinese herbal medicine together with medicinal diet is often used in the later stage of treatment to harmonize the zang fu organs， and self-made medicinal diet Xingzaoshu Soup （性早熟煲） is often used.
