Detailed Description
In the research, 164 subjects diagnosed with rapid progressive idiopathic precocious puberty are randomly divided into Group Ziyinxiehuo Granules and Megestrol Acetate Tablet（82 cases）and Group Gonadotrophin ( 82 cases). Patients in Group Ziyinxiehuo Granules and Megestrol Acetate Tablet are treated with ziyinxiehuo Granules and megestrol acetate tablet , whereas the Group Gonadotrophin received with gonadotrophin releasing hormone agonist, and all the subjects in two groups are continuously treated for 6 months.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Percentage of the Mammary Nucleus Diameter reduced to less than 1cm [After six months of continuous treatment]
The investigators will measure subjects' mammary nucleus diameter through the midline of the breast with a ruler after six months of continuous treatment, and percentage of the mammary nucleus diameter reduced to less than 1cm in each group will be calculated.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Ratio of bone age difference to chronological age difference [After six months of continuous treatment]
The left hand orthotopic X-ray (including the carpal bone and the lower end of the ulna) will be filmed by the Department of Radiology before and after treatment, and the bone age will be measured according to the Greulich-Pyle map method. Ratio of bone age difference to chronological age difference will be calculated.
