Patient's question:
What tests and treatments should be done for dwarfism? What tests and treatments should be done for dwarfism?Doctor's answer:
Hello, either being shorter than peers or having dwarfism, a child's growth and development is regulated not only by growth hormone but also controlled by genetic factors. To determine whether it is truly dwarfism, professional medical equipment must be used for testing to reach a conclusion. This condition should primarily be treated with Western medicine hormone therapy, with traditional Chinese medicine as supplementary treatment. For those with hypofunction of the thyroid, adrenal cortex, or gonads, corresponding hormone replacement therapy should be administered. If the cause is an intracranial tumor, surgical or radiotherapy should be adopted.
