Treatment of dwarfism – clear diagnosis and treatment for the cause 1. Diet, exercise and sleep help growth. Diet should be supplemented with high quality protein, such as fish, shrimp, milk, etc. Calcium can not directly promote bone growth but can strengthen bones. Exercise can promote the secretion of growth hormone, should be mainly aerobic exercise, such as high touch, rope skipping, basketball and volleyball, etc.. Keep enough sleep, the growth hormone is best secreted during ripe sleep.
2.Supplement thyroxine for those who clearly have thyroxine deficiency.
3.The effective treatment for some children with growth hormone deficiency, Turner syndrome, idiopathic dwarfism, etc. is to use growth hormone. It can promote height growth, and some patients may reach normal adult height if the treatment is timely. However, growth hormone treatment requires a longer period of injectable medication, which may cause local pain, and reduced thyroxine requires timely supplementation. Especially for those with a family tendency to develop tumors, long-term overdose should be avoided and closely monitored during treatment. Do not blindly abuse growth hormone for the sake of growing taller, but apply growth hormone reasonably and effectively under the guidance of a professional pediatric endocrinologist.
