Prevention of Precocious Puberty
Preventing non-hereditary causes of precocious puberty tends to focus on identifying the individual cause in each case and doing everything possible to prevent further progression of the disease. One recently developed way to prevent precocious puberty in girls is to fight childhood obesity. Campaigns to end childhood obesity generally include mentions of the effects that obesity can have on puberty. Another major source of fights against precocious puberty can be seen in efforts to curtail the use of psychiatric medicine in children. Many popular psych meds have the potential to alter hormone production because of the impact they have on endocrine glands.

Antidepressants are especially associated with this. Endocrine disruptors in the environment are believed to play a major role in precocious puberty. Bisphenol A, a chemical often found in plastic bottles, is well known for the impact it has on puberty in animals. Efforts to reduce exposure to BPA are important in preventing precocious puberty.
