The healthy growth of children need a harmonious environment 12-year-old girl 4 years not to grow, check and check the endocrine is also normal, parents are not short, nutrition is also good, the final diagnosis is actually the parents divorce and thus emotional depression caused! Some doctors point out that, in addition to genetics, sleep, nutrition, exercise affect height, psychological factors can also have a serious impact on the growth and development of children. The sudden and unexpected shock will make the pituitary gland secrete less growth hormone, there may be a growth pause; phenomenon. This type of psychosomatic dwarfism is reversible, and once the knot is removed, the child’s growth will continue. The child’s growth and development is affected by the stress of learning. Xiao Ling is an 8 year old girl who should be growing taller every year, but strangely enough, she suddenly lost her height within a year and hardly grew at all in the past year! We found that her hormone levels were indeed lower, and it is not normal for a child her age to grow less than 4 cm a year, but at least 5 cm or more. For this reason, the doctor first checked to rule out that Xiao Ling had endocrine disorders, then found that her nutrition was well-balanced and not caused by nutritional deficiencies, and then examined her family’s inherited height and found that there was no physical delay in height development (if one of the parents is a late developer, the child may also develop later). We started to understand if there was something wrong with her psychologically and emotionally. The doctor guided the child to the topic of family environment, the mother at first very concealed, think family matters do not need to tell the doctor, but when the doctor said that this may have an impact on the child’s growth, she said that she and Xiao Ling’s father divorced a year ago, Xiao Ling has been living with his mother, usually mainly nannies with. According to the parents’ description and the doctor’s observation, Xiaoling may have suffered a certain psychological blow, she is very non-verbal, she loses her temper with the nanny at every turn, she doesn’t get along at school, she is very introverted and depressed, she tends to be more hostile to people around her, and she refuses to cooperate with the doctor to answer questions properly at the hospital. We found that some children are happy and tall when they are in the lower grades, but when they are in the upper grades, with the stress of homework, poor grades, and high academic pressure, they have slowed down or even stopped growing taller, even though they have kept up with nutrition and other things. The growth hormone secretion disorder can also hinder growth Emotions can indeed affect height development, which is known as psychosomatic dwarfism in medical science. He introduced that there are many factors affecting human height, besides the often said genetics and nutrition, exercise, sleep and even psychological factors can also affect height. The short stature caused by psychological factors is singled out as a disease due to its special nature. This is because if a child lives in a family environment with long-term mental depression, no one cares or often beaten and scolded, discrimination and indifference, or suddenly suffers an unexpected major mental shock, it is likely to lead to a hormonal disorder in the body and strike to stop growth, thus leading to short stature. The psychological tolerance of adolescent children is already fragile, and if they are suddenly and strongly stimulated, it will lead to a decrease in the secretion of growth stimulating hormone releasing hormone by the hypothalamus, which will affect the growth and development of children. At the same time, the child’s thyroxine level will also be affected, and the whole person’s endocrine may be disordered. In this case, the growth factor also gradually decreases, so it is very likely that the head grows well every year before, and in the middle of the process, the child encounters the impact of unexpected factors such as parental divorce and declining grades, and is under too much psychological stress, and suddenly stops growing taller all of a sudden. Therefore, some foreign scholars also call love the best height increasing agent. Furthermore, such children are so emotionally stressed that many are accompanied by sleep disorders, such as difficulty in falling asleep and nightmares. Therefore, the poor quality of sleep is also the reason for their short stature. Psychosomatic dwarfism can be reversed by timely treatment. It is because psychosomatic dwarfism often comes suddenly with unexpected events (parental divorce, etc.), so it can also drift away with external environmental changes. The distinguishing feature of the disorder: reversibility. If we exclude other physical problems and nutritional problems of the child and find that it is emotionally related, we recommend that parents take the child to a psychological clinic to receive counseling from a specialist, and if the knot in the child’s heart is resolved, the normal growth rate can be restored without any medicine. Unlike other causes of growth retardation, the disease has three main characteristics: 1) the child’s genetic ability to grow and develop mentally is normal (no psychiatric problems); 2) the child’s normal motor and psychological development is affected by the stimulation of the external adverse environment; 3) all symptoms will disappear one by one when the adverse environment is improved. The disorder itself may be a partial or temporary growth hormone deficiency and reduction of growth factors. If the doctor evaluates the child’s height and expects that the final height in the future may be similar to the ideal height, it is not necessary to use medication immediately at this time, but to let him/her receive psychological counseling and carry out sports exercises first. If you feel that your child is too short for his or her age, you may still need to use some of the medication to promote hormone production.
