* Children reach

Dr. Abdul feet appointed holiday Agha consultant endocrinology and diabetes at King Abdul Aziz University, report on natural puberty and abnormal in children, calling it is the period of time that separates between childhood and youth and is characterized by the acquisition of the child or the child of secondary sexual characteristics and the rapid growth pace, as well as an increase the secretion of sex hormones secreted by the testes in males and ovaries in females, and in this period the child or the child turns into a man or woman and they shall be able to have children after marriage. This period is usually completed between 2-5 years from its beginning to its end.

It starts normal female puberty by the age of 8 years and beyond, and is the legal age of adulthood but mostly breast appears between the ages of 9-10 years and after that the pubic hair of the limits of 6-12 shows a month later and often menstruation starts with the girls after two years and more than appearance breast. For example: If the breast appears the girl at the age of 9 years is the approximate age of a menstrual cycle two years after the emergence of any breast at the age of 11 years.

And the ratio of males usually begins after the age of 9 years and average between 10-12 years old, Vekpr testicular volume more than 4 ml in volume or 2.5 cm in longitudinal diameter, and is the first signs of puberty. With the large size of the testicles scrotum becomes thin and darkens the color and increase the growth of the penis and then showing pubic hair, as well as armpit hair and often have the appearance of hair in the middle of puberty in males.

* Early puberty

For many years under the definition of precocious puberty in both sexes that the emergence of signs of puberty to the child before the age of eight years and when the child before the ninth. But recent studies indicate that the early signs of puberty in girls (the appearance of the breasts) often become appear in the early periods between the ages of 6-8 years, due to environmental pollution to the hormone estrogen, after you start using estrogen in vain in plant and animal products in plastic material manufacturer which led to the occurrence of early puberty in girls before the age at which he was known in the past, as well as studies have shown that girls with black color before they reach girls with white girls and toxins before they reach the girls lean.

The types of precocious puberty are:

- Central precocious puberty:

It depends on the hormone GNRH which is secreted from a gland the hypothalamus of the brain, and is excreted in the early (as mentioned), leading to increased pituitary hormones and then ovarian hormones in girls and testes in males resulting in attaining an early central.

- Precocious puberty Terminal:

It is caused by increased peripheral glands and not central in the sense that puberty is the result of increased secretions adrenal hormones (androgens) or increase estrogen secreted from the ovaries due to tumors or bags in the ovary. Same thing in males where it releases hormones androgens (testosterone from the testicles).

- Joint puberty:

Between Central Terminal puberty and adulthood.

* the cure

It depends treat precocious puberty to adulthood type, if precocious puberty centrally should the physician know the reason leading to that, if the reason for a tumor, for example, (centrally it or lump in the sub-nodes) must lumpectomy way surgery to get rid of precocious puberty. If it is not because of tumors or tumor was difficult because of the excised (Example: Some tumors of the hypothalamus gland Hypothalamus Trauma), which are difficult to surgically excised, it is treatment through medication only, or radiation therapy Kouram nervous system. Unfortunately eradicate or cure the tumor rarely causes decline in early adulthood, but leads to a halt early puberty, but the previous period can not be restored.

* The impact of sleep

There is a puzzling question about the impact of sleep on the secretion of hormones and disorder functions and multiples of that growth? Professor Abdul Agha appointed confirms that the adult human needs adequate time to sleep up an average of 7-8 hours, but young children below school age Faihtajon at least 10 hours of sleep a day. Valenhar vigilance is the time of night is relaxing and going to sleep time.

Sleep is very important for human health, whether mental health or physical or psychological, as well as children who sleep and are afraid of the dark Vinamun with a lighting happens to them the same effect

Played by delayed sleep, so children are recommended for the safety of mental, physical and psychological development that sleep in the early time and to be in the dark without lights illuminated.

For hormones, the fact that there are three types of hormones are affected by delayed sleep as well as if the child was asleep and the light is lit, namely:

- Growth hormone:

Which is secreted by the pituitary gland, and is excreted in the predominantly at night while you sleep more than waking hours, as well as in the bedroom is in deep sleep stage excreted more than a light sleep.

- Cortisol:

Which is secreted by the adrenal gland, and starts work before dawn in the third or fourth time in the morning. During the day period be at the top of his work and after dinner be low.

- The hormone melatonin:

Which is secreted by the pineal gland, it is secreted only at night, not during the day.

These three hormones are secreted in the body dysfunctional and balance is the opposite of what made him if a defect in the nature of sleep has occurred, if this reflected the adverse physiological effect is happening on the health and development of children, whether physically or mentally, or psychologically.
