Patient's question:
The patient has twisted their limbs, poor appetite, and a lower weight compared to peers of the same age. The growth rate of height and weight each year is relatively slow. Intelligence is normal, and the child is lively and active. Except for this, there is no difference from other children of the same age! From birth, they have been shorter than their peers...Doctor's answer:
The patient has a shorter stature, poor appetite, and a lower weight compared to peers of the same age. The annual growth rate of height and weight is relatively slow. The child has normal intelligence and is lively and active.!Onset time and cause: Since birth, the patient has been shorter and lighter in weight compared to peers. Currently, at 18 years old, the child's height is approximately 125 cm, and the weight is 32 kg.
Possible causes: Both parents have relatively short stature. The father is about 170 cm tall and weighs 90 kg. The mother is 155 cm tall and weighs 60 kg.
Dear parent, the condition of your child is not dwarfism, as dwarfism is characterized by intellectual disability, but the child's intelligence is normal. However, the child may grow and develop slightly slower than other children, which is why they are shorter. This is simply a case of short stature.
I recommend taking your child to the hospital for a check-up. Dr. Jin Zimeng is said to be quite good. Give it a try. Wishing your child a speedy recovery.
