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 quite a bit. 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 influenced by both hereditary factors and environmental factors. Your son maintains a calm mindset, creates a healthy lifestyle, emphasizes dietary hygiene and nutrition, ensures sufficient deep sleep, and simultaneously increases physical activity, especially pedaling exercises. He can definitely grow taller. If necessary, visit a regular hospital's endocrinology department for follow-up, undergo thorough examinations related to growth hormone, and obtain a clear diagnosis for targeted treatment.
