My 5yr old daughter has recently been undergoing testing for precocious puberty. I initially took her to a specialist as she is very overweight and I can't understand why. She has had rapid growth, body odour and now discovered breast development, enlarged womb and follicle in left ovary plus incredible mood swings. But blood results only show maturation at an 8yr old level with normal estrogen (although obvious signs in womb). She is due to have an MRI on 01/22/01 to try and gain a better picture before any treatment starts. I live in Sydney Australia and I believe we are supposed to have a very good specialist clinic dealing with this but I'm just so confused now, both with her apparent stop/start puberty signals and also her weight gain. I keep getting told it is not related but her weight problem is just not making sense to me. She eats well and is very active. Does anyone have any information or experiences with either or both of these conditions perhaps being related? I would really appreciate any help. Thanks.
