The prevalence of short stature due to growth disorders in China exceeds 4.3 million people and is increasing at a rate of 161,000 every year. More than 90% of the affected children have low self-esteem, autism, depression, psychological vulnerability and other psychological disorders, and tend to be more sensitive and lack self-confidence than the general population. Patients with short stature often have certain disorders that can affect lifelong height and quality of life if not diagnosed and treated early. Age 2-13 is the golden period for treatment of short stature: The growth of a person’s stature has its own rules and is affected by many factors, many of which are unfavorable to stature growth and can be lifted and corrected as long as they are closely monitored and discovered in time. Unfortunately, in reality, the age that can strongly draw my attention to their height is roughly 15-16 years old, when the growth of bones, especially the growth of long bones that determine human height has tended to stop. In other words, by this time, a person’s final height has already been determined, and even medication, nutrition and other treatments can’t help. The burden of observing and monitoring the height of their children falls primarily on the shoulders of parents, who must act as competent monitors of their children’s height growth and development. Once a child’s epiphysis closes, parents can only regret it for life. However, many parents do not know that their children need to be seen to find out the cause of their short stature, they think it may be a “late growth” and leave their children’s height to time, or spend money on nutrition and so-called height-enhancing devices for their children. These blind measures often delay the treatment and even backfire. In fact, parents need to monitor their children’s growth and development on a regular basis. If you find that your child is 30% shorter than the average height of children of the same sex and age around you, or less than 2 standard deviations, or suffers from other growth disorders, you should go to a specialist medical institution in time to rule out the cause as much as possible. Most of the dwarfism can be prevented and treated at present, except for some cases. Even if there is no obvious reason for the short stature, medication can be used to make the body taller. Human beings have some “autonomy” over their own height. The main points of prevention and treatment of dwarfism are as follows: 1. Children should be effectively monitored dynamically, and their height during growth and development should be recorded and analyzed in a timely manner. Those with delayed growth and dwarfism should be listed as key monitoring targets. Parents should be their primary monitors. 2.Strengthen and improve the nutritional status of children, so that their growth and development are on a good nutritional basis. 3.Actively prevent and treat chronic diseases. Effective treatment of multiple chronic diseases can avoid and reduce the occurrence of dwarfism. 4.Make children have a good psychological, social and emotional atmosphere. 5.Correct endocrine hormone abnormalities under the guidance of an experienced specialist. Growth hormone and low thyroid hormone are the common causes of dwarfism. The former can be effectively treated by injecting recombinant human growth hormone, while the latter should be supplemented with appropriate amount of thyroid hormone as early as possible, which can often achieve good results. 6. Abnormal cartilage development is mainly due to vitamin D deficiency or incomplete action, which causes imbalance of calcium and phosphorus metabolism in the body and thus affects bone development. Supplementation of cod liver oil, calcium supplements, frequent sun exposure and vitamin D supplementation or active D3 is effective.
