Patient's question:
11-year-old girl, height 141 cm, is it normal, could it be dwarfism? Previous treatment history and effectiveness: NoneWhat kind of help do you want: Is this considered normal?
Doctor's answer:
Your daughter's condition is about wanting to grow taller, so whether she can grow taller mainly depends on how closed her growth plates are. This is not considered too short, and it is recommended that if the growth plates are about to close but have not fully closed, growth hormone can be used in the short term. It is advisable to eat more vegetables, high-protein foods, high-quality protein foods, and foods rich in calcium and zinc to prevent picky eating. Ensure adequate rest time and quality. Engage in more physical exercises, such as jumping rope and basketball. If the growth plates have already fused, you can consider leg lengthening surgery at a reputable hospital, but the cost is relatively high.
