How is precocious puberty diagnosed?

A number of tests are used to diagnose precocious puberty. Usually it begins with a medical history, a physical examination, and blood tests that check hormone levels. An X-ray of the hand is also performed to check if bones are growing faster than normal. If precocious puberty is suspected after this, a range of other tests are performed to determine the type and cause.
