Initially, doctors diagnosed Duoduo with dwarfism caused by ovarian hypoplasia, but after four or five years of taking medicine, Duoduo did not grow, which made Duoduo’s parents anxious. The most advanced and effective method for children suffering from this condition is the direct injection of “recombinant human growth hormone”.
According to Dr. Fu Xiaoling, director of the Department of Child Health at the provincial hospital, since the establishment of the Children’s Dwarf Clinic at the provincial hospital, one or two children with short stature who are referred from gynecology, internal medicine and orthopedics are seen every day. For most children with dwarfism, the ideal age for treatment is 4 to 6 years old. Doudou is almost 14 years old, past the best treatment period, but because Doudou’s bone development is still only about 8 years old, doctors believe that Doudou can expect to grow more than 20 cm taller and reach a height of about 1 meter 4 if treated continuously for two to three years.
