Patient's question:
My son is 150 cm tall, and his bone age X-ray shows he is 13 and a half years old. He has already gone through his growth phase. How much more can he grow? I am 163 cm tall, and his father is 174 cm tall, but why is his son so short? Children of the same age are all taller than him by a head. I would like to ask the doctor for some advice. What kind of assistance is needed: Where is the best hospital for treating children's short stature?Doctor's answer:
Height is affected by both hereditary factors and environmental factors. Your son has maintained a calm mindset and created a healthy lifestyle, emphasizing dietary hygiene and nutrition, ensuring adequate deep sleep, and simultaneously increasing physical activity, especially pedaling exercises. He can definitely grow taller. If necessary, it is recommended to consult the endocrinology department of a regular hospital for follow-up, undergo thorough examinations related to growth hormone, and obtain a clear diagnosis for targeted treatment.
