Many parents still have some mistakes about their children’s height, so they must quickly identify these misconceptions to help their babies grow taller quickly! Mistake 1: In fact, whether it is physical “late growth” or Turner’s syndrome and other diseases, it is not terrible, but many parents have a fluke mentality, treating “short” as “late growth”. However, many parents take a chance and treat “short” as “late growth”, thinking that it is okay for their children to be short when they are young, and that they will catch up when they develop later, imagining that their children will have an unexpectedly long adolescent period, but as a result, they miss the best time to diagnose and treat short. Doctors recommend that parents should regularly test their children’s height and calculate their growth rate. Seek medical attention as early as possible to clarify the cause and early standardized treatment to avoid delaying the child’s growth, which not only has good treatment effect but also saves money. Mistake 2: In addition, because parents do not know the diagnostic criteria of dwarfism, they often think that their child’s height is lower than the average level of the class is dwarfism. However, with the improvement of people’s living standard in China, the average height of children is increasing significantly, but it also makes the whole society’s expectation of height increase, thus more and more children are added to the group of people who are suffering from short stature. Other misconceptions include: 1. The more calcium supplementation is good for children’s height; 2. The more protein content is good for children’s height; 3. These misconceptions are being exploited by many unscrupulous businesses, which eventually make these children and their parents fall into the so-called “Kor Kor increase trap”. Is it safe to use hormone therapy? Many parents are afraid to talk about hormones, but hormones are not the same as hormones. However, this “hormone” is not another “hormone”, but what we call human growth hormone (GH) is a protein secreted by the anterior pituitary gland, which is the most important substance to promote growth after birth, and growth hormone is the only safe and effective drug approved by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of dwarfism. After more than 30 years of clinical observation, the European Society of Pediatric Endocrinology officially declared in 1993 that recombinant human growth hormone has a very good safety profile when used in conventional replacement therapy. Hormones are the main substances regulating metabolism in the body, and their secretion sites play different physiological roles, for example, thyroid gland secretes thyroid hormone and adrenal cortex secretes adrenocorticotropic hormone, which may cause some adverse effects in the human body if used in excess for a long time. Genetically recombinant human growth hormone has exactly the same structure as the GH protein naturally secreted by the human body, and has 100% biological activity. Since it is not an allogeneic protein and the dose usually used is the minimum effective amount, it is not harmful to the human body. Growth hormone is safe and effective for treating dwarfism, but it requires a doctor’s discretion to use the dosage according to the child’s condition, so parents must seek medical advice from a professional hospital and doctor.
