I posted this in health but got no replies - just trying here in case someone with some experience of this sees it.
I am hoping someone can help. It has been advised by the GP that my DS may be prescribed something to pause his puberty. He's 8 and very small anyway and is showing signs of puberty. As early puberty is associated with stunted adult height we have been referred to a consultant to look at preventing this.
It's really hard to find information about this outside of a trans context but I presume it's the same meds and some of the information is really quite frightening. The GP said it was like a pause button and when you stopped the meds he'd have a normal puberty just later but I am reading stuff that suggests this isn't correct.
Has anyone been through this? I have no idea what to do for the best.
