This includes only one change (either thelarche, adrenarche, or menarche) The cause is a transient Hormone increase leading to increased end organ sensitivity. Notes just say that the treatment is conservative, but what does this include? Reassurance and observation? or do we have to treat with something for a short time?

Do all for Dx - bone age, DHEAS, 17OHP, FSH, LH, testosterone if needed, than reassess growth velocity and pubertal status at 3-6 mo interval

I think you do bone age as the first step to ruling out between incomplete and complete precocious puberty if bone age = chronological age --> incomplete so reassurance bone age ahead of chr age --> complete so do pelvis, abd, brain CT or imaging bone age delay --> hypothyroidism causing prec puberty so do TFT
