The diagnosis and treatment of dwarfism and growth retardation in children should be detected and treated as early as possible. In China, short stature caused by growth retardation is currently more than 4.3 million people, and the annual rate of 161,000 people are still increasing. 2 to 13 years old is the golden time for the treatment of dwarfism, but many parents do not know that the child’s short stature is also a disease. Children’s growth and development can be roughly divided into three stages: rapid growth, slow growth and accelerated growth during puberty. From the embryonic period to the age of 2 years for the rapid growth period. The first year of life has the fastest growth rate, about 25 centimeters or more. From 2 years of age until puberty (about 10 years of age for girls and 12 years of age for boys) is the period of slow growth. After puberty, growth accelerates again in the first two years, with boys growing 25 to 28 centimeters and girls 23 to 25 centimeters throughout puberty. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to the child’s height changes, once diagnosed as short stature, the earlier the treatment, the better. There are many reasons why children do not grow in height, and they need to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. Generally speaking, children’s height is not ideal for the following reasons: growth hormone deficiency or insufficient secretion caused by short stature, which is also commonly referred to as dwarfism. If this type of disease is not treated early, the child’s final height in adulthood is only about 1.3 meters. Other endocrine diseases such as thyroid hormone secretion deficiency and precocious puberty can cause short stature. Turner syndrome (congenital ovarian hypoplasia syndrome), the disease is caused by chromosomal abnormalities, the need for chromosome examination to confirm the diagnosis of such patients, if not treated, the adult height is only about 1.4 meters. 60-80 profundity short children for idiopathic shortness, including familial shortness and physical delayed puberty, idiopathic shortness etiology is still unclear, parents are often confused, should the child be treated or not. In the end, the child should be treated or not. In July 2003, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the long-term treatment of children with dwarfism, the application of growth hormone can receive good results. Others such as intrauterine growth retardation (less than fetal age children), abnormal bone development (chondrodysplasia), chronic renal insufficiency can cause dwarfism. For any child, parents should pay attention and intervene early. When a child is found to be short in stature, he or she should go to a specialist clinic for consultation and treatment. Because there are many causes of short stature, it requires a detailed medical history, a comprehensive physical examination and the necessary laboratory tests before a specialist can make a definitive diagnosis and propose treatment. Short stature whose bone development has not yet been completed can grow taller through reasonable treatment and adjustment. Such as growth hormone replacement therapy, appropriate thyroxine supplementation, reasonable diet, exercise, adequate sleep, etc., as long as parents can cooperate with the doctor as early as possible active treatment, short stature can grow taller. However, it should be noted that the earlier the growth hormone treatment is carried out, the better the effect. The younger the child is, the more active the proliferation and differentiation of the cartilage layer in the epiphysis is, the greater the potential and space for growth, the more sensitive the response to the treatment, and the better the efficacy. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to the child’s height, if you find that the child’s height is shorter than that of children of the same age, you must go to a specialized clinic for consultation, and should not blindly take some height-enhancing drugs, which not only can’t achieve the desired height, but also may bring other effects to the child. If the child is short, parents do not have to worry, through treatment can grow taller.
