A Baby From Delhi Just Hit Puberty At Age 1 Doctors Explain His Rare and Shocking Condition


Puberty is always a difficult time in everyone's life. We're caught off-guard by a sudden growth spurt, we grow body hair and our hormones are all over the place. Been there, right? But puberty is actually spelling a new kind of trouble for one Delhi boy. According to Deccan Chronicle, diagnosed with a rare condition, Delhi's Akash - a one year old baby - has hit puberty already. He's developed facial, body and pubic hair, his voice is beginning to break and he displays having sexual urges. Doctors now say Akash is suffering from 'precocious puberty' - an extremely rare hormonal condition that leads his testosterone levels to shoot up to those of a twenty-five-year old.



Possible complications can include anything from violence due to increased strength, to stopping growth prematurely and possibly remaining 3-4 feet tall for life.

The youngest girl on record to have given birth to a baby at the age of five years and seven months, on account of 'precocious puberty', is Lina Medina from Peru in 1939.

Pretty scary, right? Well, the more you know.
