A two-year-old girl in the southern province of Ben Tre, who has developed breasts and menstruates, has been diagnosed as reaching puberty. D.K.H began to develop signs of puberty during the past year. Last May, H.N, the mother of the child, took her to the Children's Hospital 2 in Ho Chi Minh City. Doctors did a comprehensive check and said there was no problem with her brain -- precocious puberty is mostly caused by problems in the patient's brain -- but she had an ovarian cyst and unusually large uterus. They diagnosed her as having peripheral precocious puberty and continue to monitor the development of her breasts and menstruation as well as weight and height. In August she had a check at HCMC's Tu Du Hospital. But an MRI scan and hormone test failed to show conclusively if the condition was caused by the ovarian cyst or problems in her brain.

2-year-old boy has womb removed
While looking for another testicle in the abdomen of a boy who was hospitalized with only one testicle in his scrotum, doctors in Ho Chi Minh City were very surprised to discover a uterus as well. This extremely rare case was recorded recently when M.N.H, a baby born in Ca Mau Province, was taken to the Pediatrics Hospital II in Ho Chi Minh City by his parents who were concerned since there was only one testicle in H's scrotum.
