2y/o boy sexually mature already, has painful erections
Quote:
A boy of two is being treated for fully developed genitals, pubic hair and painful erections due to an extreme case of 'precocious puberty'.
Arsh Akhtar, from Delhi, northern India, suffers from the rare condition which means he reached sexual maturity at the age of just 18 months.
Although he began showing signs of early puberty when he was just six months old, his father Waseem Akhtar, 32, and mother Shabnam Parveen, 23, ignored the symptoms assuming he was just a big boy.
'He was growing unnaturally,' his mother Shabnam told MailOnline.
At the age of four months old he looked like a child aged one and by the time he turned one he looked like his three-year-old cousin.
'We thought he was growing faster than other children. But our worries increased when we noticed his pubic hair and genitals growing unnaturally after around 18 months.
'Arsh is our first child so we didn't have a lot of knowledge but my mother-in-law, who has raised several children, suggested we consult a doctor.'
Eventually they made an appointment with the private Max Hospitals, in Delhi, even though the fees were outside their budget.
He even applied for an insurance policy to get his son treated but it was rejected.
'We had no option, I had to find the money to get him treated at a private hospital,' he said.
'My son's condition was getting serious and I had to show him to a good doctor. The government hospitals did not entertain our case. I had no choice but dig into my family's savings.'
Arsh was initially given the injections monthly, but is now down to once every three months.
'So this is an extremely rare case and the child has suffered a hormonal disorder without any particular reason.
'I have personally not seen any case like this before. The brain activities in these cases start almost a decade earlier than usual and it activates the master gland of our body that controls our organs.
'It calls for immediate treatment. If it's not treated quickly it leads to other]& issues like painful erections, trauma for the child and family, then rejection by peers, behavioral changes and psychological issues.'
The doctor added that if the child had not been treated before the age of five, his condition may have stunted his growth and he may have never grown to more than 3ft tall.
Arsh has shown a speedy recovery over the last six months and his genitals have now shrunk in size.
Dr Rustagi added that his erection issues have also been resolved but the doctors have suggested his treatment continue until he reaches at least 11 years old.
'He is still on hormone therapy. We can only control his testosterone and the moment we stop the problem will return,' added Dr Rustagi.
