Patient's question:
Male, born on February 17, 2001. Current height 1.41 meters. Bone age 12 weeks 6 months.Doctor's answer:
Growth hormone deficiency generally results in delayed bone age, but it is not absolute. I recommend closely monitoring the child's height and bone age. If the height gradually approaches the average as the child grows older, there is no need for a growth hormone stimulation test. However, if the height drops below -2 standard deviations, a growth hormone stimulation test should be conducted to determine whether there is growth hormone deficiency.Short stature has always been a concern for parents. When treating this condition, it is advisable to consider general treatment. Only by using professional methods can parents help children recover from the disease as soon as possible, ensuring that it does not affect their growth and development. Therefore, parents must pay close attention to their children's condition and take them to a doctor for timely treatment.
