How to deal with dwarfism diagnosed in an 8-month-old baby

Patient's question:

How to deal with short stature syndrome in an 8-month-old baby

Doctor's answer:

Dwarfism is primarily caused by endocrine disorders in the thyroid. Common causes include insufficient secretion of growth hormone by the pituitary gland and hypothyroidism. If it has been confirmed that the condition is dwarfism, growth hormone replacement therapy is necessary. It is recommended that you take your child to the endocrinology department of a regular, large hospital for diagnosis and active treatment. Additionally, focus on nutritional enhancement in the diet, consume more dairy products, supplement with calcium, and engage in regular exercise and sun exposure.
