With the increasingly fierce competition in society, parents are not only concerned about their children’s academic performance, but also gradually realize that having a good appearance can add a lot of points in the fierce competition, which is an important reason why many parents now pay attention to their children’s height. Some parents are overly concerned about their children’s height and measure their height regularly, which is meaningless and may cause great psychological pressure on the child, but affects growth. Another part of parents do not pay enough attention to their children’s height. The survey shows that China is late in receiving treatment for short stature, with 70% of the age group being between 11-16 years old, while the average time for treatment abroad is 6 years old. How to determine whether a child is short? First of all, parents should be clear that the so-called short stature is compared with the whole population, not a few children, that is, the height is below the third percentile of the height of children of the same age and sex, or below 2 standard deviations of the mean medical termed short stature, not just slightly shorter than the mean, according to reports in some domestic provinces, the incidence of dwarfism is close to 3%. For children with short stature, professional doctors will help parents to find the cause of the disease. The common causes are: growth hormone deficiency; premature babies, small for gestational age; physical pubertal growth delay; systemic diseases, such as heart disease, chronic nephritis, digestive system diseases and other chronic diseases; mental factors; hypothyroidism, adrenal cortical hyperplasia, precocious puberty, etc.; bone and cartilage diseases; chromosomal diseases etc. Most of the children who come to the clinic have poor lifestyle habits, such as poor appetite, lack of exercise, and lack of sleep, which can also cause them to grow taller. Therefore, in addition to symptomatic treatment, doctors should provide health education and guidance to parents and children to change their bad habits. Parents are advised to measure their children’s height every three months to compare it with the normal growth rate, and to take their children to the hospital when there is a significant growth slowdown. Parents should help their children to do the following in life: First, help children to develop good eating habits, to ensure that they consume enough protein, carbohydrates and vitamins every day. It is recommended to drink 250-500 ml of milk and eat one or two eggs every day; consume the right amount of meat to supply good quality calcium and protein, as calcium is an important raw material for bones and protein is the best “building material” for children’s growth and development. Eat the right amount of cereals and fruits and vegetables. Eat less fried, sugary and salty snacks, drink more plain water and less sugary drinks. Breakfast should be full, eat well, if you do not eat a good breakfast, nutrition supply is not enough, the brain does not consume enough energy to use the body’s reserves of protein, which is like a “kettle bottom”, a long time is bound to affect the body’s growth and development. Many parents choose to give their children tonic products because they are worried about the lack of nutrition, such as the long-term use of colostrum, royal jelly, pollen, chicken embryo (hairy eggs), silkworm pupae and other foods, in fact, long-term consumption of such foods will, to a certain extent, lead to premature sexual maturity in children, which will interfere with the hypothalamus pituitary gonadal axis, resulting in children’s lifelong height is shorter. Secondly, urge your child to do proper exercise every day, 20 to 40 minutes is appropriate, such as jogging, rope skipping, dancing, playing basketball, volleyball, swimming, etc. can be. In addition, to ensure adequate sleep, a pleasant environment, mood. Supervise your child to go to bed early and get up early every day to have enough sleep so that the growth hormone and other growth-related hormones in the body are in the best state of secretion and function. For the treatment of short stature, the market is also flooded with various height increasing products. Most of the advertisements of height enhancement products are deceptive, and most of the height enhancement drugs are not approved by the State Drug Administration, which lacks safety and effectiveness due to the unclear composition and unknown mechanism of action of the drugs, and also delays the limited treatment time. For the application of growth hormone, we should strictly grasp the indications for its treatment, avoid irregular treatment and drug abuse, and have a comprehensive understanding of the patient’s condition to avoid blind medication, which may cause the patient to bear unnecessary drug risks, and the way to use the drug is to inject it subcutaneously every night before bedtime. Because growth hormone is a protein peptide hormone, it will be digested by digestive enzymes in the stomach and become ineffective, so oral growth hormone is ineffective. I hope the above will be of some help to some parents, and I am eager to help children grow up healthily and meet a bright future through the joint efforts of doctors and parents.
