Patient's question:
The child has been in school for 4 years, and the height difference with classmates is getting bigger and bigger. It is said that growth hormone can be effective in treating it. Which brand is better?What kind of help is important: Can children grow taller if their parents are short? Dad is 1.6 meters tall, and Mom is 1.5 meters tall. Can the son grow to 1.7 meters?
Doctor's answer:
A child's growth and development are influenced by factors such as intergenerational genetics, gender, diseases, environment, endocrine, and nutrition. According to your description, both parents are relatively short in stature, which may reduce the likelihood of the child growing taller. Pay attention to a balanced diet in daily life. Drink more milk. Engage in more central-type activities. With the decline in living standards, children may be taller than adults. Regarding the use of growth hormone, it is still recommended to test how much is lacking before deciding how to administer it.
