1. Height measurement: Whether it is short or precocious patients, it is necessary to measure height every month after treatment. Since the height change is small after all within a month, it needs to be measured as accurately as possible. If you measure at home, you can put a height comparison table on the wall and draw a line on the paper after each measurement.
(Note: usually do not measure height too often, generally once a month to measure, otherwise it is easy to cause psychological pressure on the child, too much psychological pressure is not conducive to growth).
2, appropriate control of diet: avoid excess nutrition, especially avoid fatty foods, less sweets, but to ensure the intake of protein, should eat more vegetables and fruits. For children with precocious puberty caused by food and diet, do not eat nutritious food and tonic products that may contain sex hormones, and do not use skin care products that contain sex hormones; at the same time, parents should put the drugs at home in a safe place out of the child’s reach.
3, increase physical activity: especially should strengthen the physical exercise, should ensure more than 30 minutes of exercise time every day. You can choose to jump rope, play basketball, badminton, bouncing or high jumping, swimming and other sports. At first, you can do some activities within your reach, gradually increase the amount of exercise and exercise intensity and persistently, so as not to lose confidence due to excessive fatigue. The exercise of the lower limbs can stimulate the cell division and proliferation of the epiphyseal growth plate of the long bones and promote the growth of height. In addition, sports and exercise to regulate weight, change the body components, increase muscle mass and reduce fat content have a very positive effect.
4, to ensure adequate sleep: every night should ensure at least 8 to 10 hours of high-quality sleep to ensure that sleep before 10 o’clock at night, so that the pituitary gland in the secretion of sufficient amounts of growth hormone before falling asleep, the rapid growth of height has a very important role in promoting.
5, the use of growth hormone depends on the age of the bone: specifically whether a patient can be treated with growth hormone to promote growth, the key is to look at the age of the bone. Whether the epiphysis is closed or not is the most important indicator to decide whether growth hormone can be used. Theoretically speaking, girls with bone age before 14 years old and boys with bone age before 15 years old may still have the opportunity to use growth hormone to increase their height, but if the epiphysis is closed and then use growth hormone to increase height is ineffective.
