Does general anesthesia during surgery affect a child's height?

Patient's question:

Lately, my boss has said that I'm not in good spirits and it's affecting my work performance. Actually, I didn't want to, either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. Also, I'm wondering if general anesthesia during my child's surgery will have any impact on their height.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, don't worry, general anesthesia will not affect the child's health. Usually, the duration of general anesthesia for children is not long, and under the monitoring of the anesthesiologist, it will not cause irreparable harm to the child's body. There are many triggers for pediatric endocrine diseases. If the child is diagnosed with pediatric endocrine disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in children and maintain a balanced diet.
