advanced bone age

[weltin]

Dear Doctor
My son who is 9 years old slightly overweight but very muscular started getting  pubic hair growth at the age of 7 - 8. He has a normal penis size and testicles for his age and his sweat doesn't smell and he doesn't have acnea.
His bone age however shows an age of 12-13 years.

He is taking Lexamil 5mg daily (1 year now) and Vesicare 5mg daily (6months) for depression and poor bladder control respectively.He is very fit and does a lot of sport.

I have requested tests for FSH, LH.TSH,Testosterone,Prolactin and dheas.(Today) Would you advise that I also get an IGF1 done before I try to find a ped endocrinologist?
Thanking you for this great service you offer.
Dr T L

I am sorry I have just learned that the expert/endo  pediatric forum is closed when I told you to go there I was unaware ...

I would be good if you put this question onto the expert/Doctor forum, there is a pediatric endocrinologist forum ..go back to the forums page and look to your right.good luck
