Teenagers with baby faces look good and cute, but if after the age of 12 or 13, the child still has an overgrown face and does not grow much, it is time to draw the attention of parents. These children may have a growth hormone deficiency. This is a medical condition known as “growth hormone deficiency” because the child’s body does not produce enough of the growth hormone that affects growth, resulting in a growth disorder. Children with growth hormone deficiency are shorter in stature, but have normal body proportions, facial features and intelligence. Because growth hormone helps to inhibit the formation of subcutaneous fat, children with untreated growth hormone deficiency may be chubby. These children may also appear smaller than their actual age due to delayed growth and bone age, and their faces may look younger due to immature skull development. Experts recommend that parents use the above signs to make a preliminary determination of whether their child has a growth disorder and consult with an endocrinologist for a checkup. After confirming that the child has growth hormone deficiency, growth hormone injections should be administered promptly for treatment. Children with growth disorders can be treated with growth hormone injections to catch up with the growth rate of normal children. Since the treatment process for growth hormone deficiency may last for the entire growth spurt of the child. Therefore, parents and children must have sufficient patience and good compliance in the treatment process. More importantly, if growth hormone deficiency is not effectively treated, the child will miss out on growth and development and will suffer from psychological pain. According to a survey, the tendency of depression in children with dwarfism is as high as 67%. Therefore, during treatment, parents should pay attention to help their children maintain a healthy lifestyle and a good state of mind, so as to help them build up confidence in treatment and persist in long-term treatment.
