The average length of a person tends to increase, and people are demanding more and more height. Often, some parents feel that their children are shorter than other children, but doctors say that their children’s height is within the normal range. So what is dwarfism? If a child’s height is 2 standard deviations lower than the height of a healthy child of the same region, age and gender, or if the child’s height is below the third percentile of the growth curve of a healthy child, it is called dwarfism. Some parents buy “height enhancement” according to the advertisement, but the money spent is not effective. Parents should not panic when they find out that their children are short, and should not use medicine indiscriminately, but should go to the professional pediatric endocrinology clinic and pediatric dwarf clinic in regular hospitals for treatment. After a detailed medical history, comprehensive physical examination and necessary laboratory tests, it will be clear whether the child is suffering from dwarfism. The treatment of dwarfism should be directed at the cause of the disease, and dwarfism caused by growth hormone deficiency should be treated with growth hormone replacement therapy. Experts believe that human height is determined by a variety of factors, and many endocrine hormones have an important impact on height development, among which growth hormone plays a vital and important role in height development. Growth hormone is a molecular peptide secreted by the pituitary gland. The main physiological role of growth hormone is to promote the synthesis of various tissues in the human body, especially proteins, and stimulate the growth of cartilage in bone joints and epiphyses, thus increasing height. The diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency can only be confirmed after a specialist has conducted a rigorous endocrine examination, such as a pituitary gland stimulation test, and has drawn blood several times to observe changes in the growth hormone domain value. For pituitary dwarfism, the earlier the treatment, the more active the proliferation and differentiation of the cartilage layer of the epiphysis, the greater the growth potential and space for the child, the more sensitive the child is to treatment, and the better the growth effect. Treatment with growth hormone should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. In addition, it is also important to ensure proper exercise and rest, a happy mood, and reasonable nutrition for children, and they should be followed up and observed at the hospital regularly.
