Patient's question:
My son is in fifth grade of primary school this year, and he is generally healthy in terms of physical condition; however, he is not tall enough and is noticeably shorter than his peers. I am truly worried that he might develop a condition of short stature. There is no one special in our family who is particularly concerned about it, and I don't know how my son's condition is.What kind of assistance is needed: Is short stature in children a type of illness? Which hospital can treat it?
Doctor's answer:
Low birth weight and small stature account for 93%, with Zhang Mingtong et al. reporting one case with a birth weight of 1960g.2. Upper body obesity: Lateral asymmetry of the torso accounts for 78%, with varying degrees. It can affect the entire half of the body, or only the skull, spine, individual limbs, or parts of them. The difference in leg length can lead to scoliosis. The growth of ossification centers on both sides shows differences in timing, although limbs of normal individuals can also have a certain degree of asymmetry, the asymmetry of patients far exceeds the normal range.
