As mentioned repeatedly before, the causes of dwarfism are very complex. Therefore, the key to the diagnosis and treatment of dwarfism is to identify the cause of dwarfism. If the cause is due to non-disease dwarfism, such as familial dwarfism and somatic growth retardation, their common characteristics are: they are shorter at birth, but have normal growth rate after birth and their height is always lower than normal. The best way to promote the growth of such children is to enhance nutrition, strengthen exercise, ensure sleep and prevent and control diseases. Adequate nutrition is an important material basis for growth, protein, calcium, zinc and other elements are important cellular components of the human body; vertical exercise, especially long-term exercise can promote the body’s own secretion of more growth hormone, which helps to grow taller; sufficient sleep can also make more growth hormone secretion. So do not abuse drugs to increase the height of children who are short in stature. In fact, since today’s society has certain standards for height in many choices, various kinds of height-enhancing drugs or equipment have sprung up, such as medicinal growth hormone, calcium, zinc, height-enhancing insoles, height-enhancing instruments, and so on. Many parents think their children are short, so they spend a lot of money to invest in their children’s height. In fact, the selection of these height-enhancing drugs or equipment is quite delicate, and once parents go into the wrong area, it will be very detrimental to the health of their children. If unnecessary surgical treatment is used, it may even lead to leaving serious sequelae, it is too late to regret. What are some of the common commercial pitfalls for height increase? In today’s dwarf-phobic era, people attach great importance to their children’s height, open the TV, the advertising of height-enhancing products is overwhelming, and there are more than 100,000 related content on the Internet by Google search on height increase, so the whole society is concerned about height increase. However, these advertisements or some height increase commercial operations, or even some so-called height increase hospital advertisements often imply commercial traps. For example, in order to exaggerate their so-called efficacy or to get more children to buy goods, manufacturers set their own height standards or purposefully adjust the scale, and then invite “celebrities,” using the celebrity effect, through fictitious scenarios or stories to promote their products, or find a child for publicity, in fact, many of the so-called beneficiaries of advertising is often In fact, many of the so-called beneficiaries of the ads are often the manufacturers spend a lot of money to hire the trustees; some other advertising dramatic height increase effect, such as twenty years old lad with a commodity, in just two or three months after the height jumped more than ten centimeters, in fact, this is only the result of computer production stunts. In addition, the use of some natural laws of growth for clever “transfer”, such as human height is not fixed, there is a certain pattern of change every day, 1-2 cm higher in the morning than in the afternoon, measured in the afternoon before treatment, and after treatment is measured in the morning height, so the fluctuations in height itself has become the manufacturers widely proclaimed “In addition, during the development of youth, the child itself is increasing at a rate of more than 6cm per year, but sometimes it is likely to be transferred by the ill-intentioned manufacturers for their own so-called panacea of efficacy. The use of medical knowledge to understand less, brave subversive knowledge innovation, with some profound medical terminology and specious theory to the customer dizzy, everywhere boasting the so-called high-tech, everywhere with the so-called international first-class, how many domestic and foreign awards, the latest technology in the United States and so on rhetoric to bluff; also some manufacturers to the second generation of products as a shield, many manufacturers often solemnly Many manufacturers often solemnly promise to replace the new generation of products for free if they are not effective, using patents, batch numbers or ancestral secret recipes and so on as a cover, hanging sheep’s head to sell dog meat, taking advantage of the imperfection of national regulations and policies, advertising in national magazines, newspapers or other media to deceive consumers, confusing the boundaries of health products and therapeutic drugs, boasting that the factory’s medicine can cure all diseases and so on; many so-called products with the relevant national authorities’ approval numbers. Many of the so-called products with the approval number of the competent state departments, in fact, only contain calcium, iron and other health care functions of ordinary health products, and in the 22 functions of health food approved by the Ministry of Health, there is no increase in this item. Therefore, parents must be careful not to rush to the doctor and fall for it, in addition to economic losses, in some products even add sex hormones, etc., although in the short term can make the child’s height a certain height, but sex hormones can accelerate the healing of the epiphysis, thus affecting the final height of the child, it is too late to regret. In reality, why do children and parents fall for this scam? What can be done to prevent it? We summarized the clinical data of children with short stature as the main complaint in our dwarf clinic from July 2000 to October 2006, in which 670 children and parents answered our questionnaire, of which 10% of parents let their children take the so-called height-enhancing drugs (specific ingredients are unknown), but 95% of parents admitted that they were not effective. In one case, the girl began to menstruate at age 11, and the two stopped gaining height at age 13, and both ended up below the third percentile in height. In addition, 5% of the parents were urging their children to take “calcium tablets”, and these parents believed that calcium supplements could promote growth. 2.5% of the children had received devices to increase their height, mainly pullers or the so-called magic wand; 10.5% of the children had worn height-enhancing shoes, but 95% of the children or parents admitted that there was no obvious effect. Five percent of the parents asked for their children, 2.5 percent of the children themselves asked for amputation surgery, but more than 95 percent of the children and parents were ignorant of the indications for amputation surgery and the risks of the treatment. It is some unscrupulous businessmen in the society who take advantage of the “dwarf-phobia” and the lack of relevant scientific knowledge to set a series of commercial traps, especially the commercial traps implied in some height increase advertisements, which make many parents and affected children fall for the deception. For this reason, we should further improve the health education and publicity mechanism for patients in our future clinical practice, strengthen the communication between doctors and patients, and improve the level of knowledge about children’s growth and development as much as possible, and we also expect everyone to pay attention to these problems and strengthen the monitoring of children’s growth and development. In addition, since the information sources of these children and their parents about various height enhancement products are: 50% from TV, 40% from newspapers and magazines, 5% from internet and 5% from other sources. Therefore, we call on the relevant authorities to strengthen legislation and improve the regulatory mechanism, especially to strengthen the supervision and management of the media and advertising, etc.
