The healthy growth of children need to harmonize the environment of 12-year-old girl 4 years do not grow, check to check the endocrine is also normal, parents are not short, nutrition is also quite good, the final diagnosis is actually the parents are divorced and thus emotional depression caused by! A doctor pointed out that, in addition to genetic, sleep, nutrition, exercise affect height, psychological factors will also have a serious impact on the child’s growth and development. Suddenly suffered an unexpected blow, will make the pituitary gland secretion of growth hormone is reduced, there may be growth pause; phenomenon. This type of psychosomatic dwarfism is reversible, once the child is relieved of the knot, the development will continue. The child study pressure growth and development affected by no coincidence, in Guangzhou, as many of these children. Xiaoling is an 8-year-old girl, it should be the age of high, but the strange thing is that, originally every year, the size of a lot of her suddenly height in a year, almost no growth in the past year! We found that her hormone levels are indeed lower, according to common sense, her age children grow less than 4 centimeters a year is not normal, at least should be more than 5 centimeters. For this reason, the doctor first check to rule out the small spirit of endocrine diseases, and then found that its nutritional balance is good, not caused by nutritional deficiency, the next examination of the family itself genetic height, found that there is no somatic height development delay (parents family if one of the children belonging to the late development of late development may also develop later) When we put the basic influence on the development of the child’s height of the factors have been ruled out, but also to see that she basically do not speak, then After we had ruled out all the basic factors affecting the child’s height development, and seeing that she was basically silent, we began to understand if there was a psycho-emotional problem. Doctors to the child’s family environment on the topic of guidance, his mother was very secretive at first, do not think there is no need to tell the doctor about family matters, but when the doctor said that this may have an impact on the child’s physical growth, she said that he and Xiaoling’s father divorced a year ago, Xiaoling has been living with his mother, usually mainly with nannies. According to the parents’ description coupled with the doctor’s observation, Xiaoling may be psychologically hit by a certain blow, she is very non-verbal, not moving to the nanny tantrums, in school also do not get along with the group, the character is very introverted depression, often more hostile to people around, to the hospital also refused to cooperate with the doctor to answer the question properly. There are children who are happy in the early grades, and their heads soar quite high, but in the upper grades, with the stress of homework, poor grades, learning pressure, etc., although the nutrition and everything to keep up, but the growth of retarded or even stop growing taller. Growth hormone secretion disorders can also hinder the growth of emotions can indeed affect the development of height, which is known in medicine as psychological dwarfism. There are many factors that affect the human body height, in addition to the often said genetic, nutrition, exercise, sleep and even psychological factors will also affect the height. And psychological factors caused by short stature due to its specificity, so singled out as a disease. This is because children who live in a long-term mental depression, no one cares or often beaten and scolded, discrimination and indifference to the family environment, or suddenly suffered an unexpected major mental shock, is likely to lead to hormonal disorders in the body, the strike to stop growth, which leads to short stature. The psychological tolerance of children and adolescents is already fragile, and if they are suddenly subjected to strong stimuli, it will lead to a decrease in the growth-promoting hormone-releasing hormone secreted by the hypothalamus, thus affecting the growth and development of the child. At the same time, the child’s thyroxine level will also be affected, and the whole person’s endocrine system may become dysfunctional. In this case, the growth factor is also gradually reduced, so it is likely that every year before the head grows well, halfway encountered parents divorce, performance decline and other unexpected factors impact, psychological pressure is too large, suddenly stop growing tall. Therefore, some foreign scholars also called love the best heightening agent. Furthermore, such children are too emotionally stressed, so many of them are accompanied by sleep disorders, such as difficulty in falling asleep, nightmares and so on. Therefore, poor sleep quality is also the reason for their short stature. Timely treatment of psychosomatic dwarfism can be reversed, precisely because psychosomatic dwarfism often comes suddenly with an unexpected event (parental separation, etc.), so it can also drift away with changes in the external environment. The remarkable feature of the disorder: reversibility. If we exclude other physical problems and nutritional problems of the child, and find that it is related to emotions, we suggest that parents take them to the psychological clinic to receive counseling from specialists, and if the child’s heart knot is solved, he or she can return to the normal growth rate without using any medication. Unlike other causes of growth retardation, this disease has three main characteristics: 1, the child’s genetic ability to grow and mental development is normal (no psychiatric problems per se); 2, due to the external harsh environmental stimuli, resulting in the normal development of the child’s motor and mental affected; 3, after the harsh environment to improve, all the symptoms will disappear one by one. The disorder itself may be a partial or temporary deficiency of growth hormone and a decrease in growth factors. If the doctor evaluates the child’s height and expects that the final height in the future may be about the same as the ideal height, it is not necessary to use medication right away at this time, but rather to let him or her receive psychological counseling and carry out sports exercises first. If it is felt that the child is too short compared to children of the same age, it may still be necessary to partially use medication to promote hormone secretion.
