Patient's question:
Health consultation description: What should be done about the child's short stature? The father is 160 cm tall, and the mother is around 155 cm. Is it hereditary from the previous generation? Help from Cares: What should I do about the child's short stature? Where should I go for treatment?Doctor's answer:
Generally, some people experience delayed growth and start growing rapidly in middle school or high school, so there's no need to worry too much. You can drink more milk and soy milk, and eat some beef and eggs appropriately. Additionally, you can also engage in regular physical exercise, especially playing basketball, which can help with height growth by naturally stretching the spine. Sufficient activity can stabilize blood supply to the bones and enhance bone density. This can increase the likelihood of growing taller. Besides that, it's important to ensure you take a nap before 9 a.m. each day, as growth hormone is secreted more during deep sleep at 11 p.m.
