Many parents think that when the child does not grow and then come to the hospital to see, and then to do some treatment, in fact, this idea is very wrong, especially when the girl does not grow, to two years after menstruation and then rush to see the doctor, the doctor most likely can not do anything, because the girl’s body hormone level after menstruation will be close to the adult, especially after two years of menstruation is basically close to the adult women’s body hormone level. The hormone levels in a girl’s body after her menstruation will be closer to those of an adult woman, especially after two years of menstruation, when she wants to grow taller. The height of a girl at the time of menstruation is generally about 150, so that after the menarche itself can still grow 4-8 cm, adult lifetime height will also be about 157, of course, it also depends on how much bone age is at the time of menarche, different bone age represents the remaining growth potential is also different. Therefore, if a girl has a menarche and her height is below 150, parents should pay attention to it, or at least take a bone age film to predict her adult height and see what her lifetime height is before deciding whether to intervene in the treatment.
In fact, in the United States, Japan and other countries, all children will be arranged by the state every two years to take a bone age film to assess the forecast, so that once the child’s bone age problems or found that the adult height is not ideal, you can do timely treatment, while our country has not yet paid attention to this piece. This is why the height of Japanese people has caught up or even surpassed ours in recent years.
Endocrinology in children has been developing rapidly in the past few years, and we have caught up with such a good time why we do not treasure it.
