Some parents think that “children have early growth and late growth, and at the age of 23, they are still scurrying”, and there is no hurry for children to be short. When it is found that children really do not grow, it is too late to go to the hospital, and children may have healed epiphysis and lost the time to grow taller. If you find that your child is short, analyze your child’s diet, exercise, sleep and living environment, and if you exclude the above-mentioned factors, go to the hospital as soon as possible for examination, early diagnosis and timely treatment. 2. Blindly consult a doctor and listen to the propaganda of height increase clinics in informal hospitals. As a result, misdiagnosis or wrong medication may delay the growth of the child, and even have adverse consequences, which is a waste of time and a lot of money. There are many causes of short stature, which may be endocrine diseases, congenital diseases, hereditary diseases, chromosomal diseases, and so on. After a detailed medical history, a comprehensive physical examination and necessary laboratory tests, a comprehensive analysis is needed to further clarify the cause of the child’s short stature. Therefore, once a child is found to be stunted, he or she should go to the growth and development clinic of a regular hospital in a timely manner. 3, blindly listen to the advertising of height increasing products regardless of the “height increasing products” treatment principle, the cost, you have to try it. Most of the advertised drugs for short stature have the undesirable effect of causing early epiphyseal closure. As a result, when the effect is not good, the party will find a specialist, at which time there are already adverse consequences, and the best time for treatment may have been lost. 4, height depends on the age of small age must be able to grow, older must not grow much or can not grow, from a large number of clinical cases, this understanding in the parents are quite common, many parents think that the child is not too old, height than the same age children short, but perhaps in two years grow faster to catch up, this is waiting for the late growth of thought. Another kind of thinking is that the age is already 17 or 18 years old, although short but consider has passed the developmental age, it is no longer considered necessary to grow taller and treatment. In medical science, the growth potential of an individual is judged not by age alone, but by the size of the “bone age”. Bone age refers to the age of a person’s bones, and it is generally said that a small bone age has a high growth potential, while once the bone age has matured, there is no growth potential. The age of a person’s bones generally increases with age, but there may be cases where the age of the bones does not match the actual age. If the bone age of a very young child is overdeveloped and the epiphysis closes early, it is likely that there is no potential for growth; or if the bone age aging rate is too fast, the growth is not strong enough, which will also lead to short. In contrast, children who are 16 or 17 years old or even older may have a bone age several years younger than their age, which has the potential to increase height, and some even have the opportunity to be treated. In one clinical case, a 22-year-old boy with a height of 130 cm and a bone age of 10 years was diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency, and after one year of treatment, his height increased by l4 cm. In cases like this, there is a chance to grow taller despite being an adult. Therefore, for children with short stature, it is necessary to measure the bone age in time, grasp the growth potential, treat early and benefit early, and neither blindly hope for a later growth nor give up the opportunity at will. 5.Growth hormone is a universal height enhancer In the dwarf clinic, we often meet some parents who strongly request the doctor to inject growth hormone into their children in order to make them taller, which usually means that the child’s height is normal, but not up to the parents’ expected height. For example, if a girl is 15 years old and her height is already 160 cm, the parents want her to grow to 165 cm. For example, a boy is 18 years old and is already 170 cm tall, but his parents hope that he can grow to 175 cm after taking the medicine. Growth hormone is not a panacea, it is only suitable for children who have indications for growth hormone treatment. First of all, the child is short in stature, and this kind of dwarfism belongs to the available growth hormone treatment, which is not needed for normal children, and even with growth hormone, the effect may not be achieved; and for children with closed epiphysis, even for children with growth hormone deficiency, at this time, there is no chance of treatment.
