How is dwarfism treated? Why is my daughter so short?

Patient's question:

The daughter is 15 years old, but she is only 151 cm tall. Both parents are quite tall, and she has always sat at the 2nd or 3rd table among her peers. Her menarche occurred at less than 12 years old, and she is slightly overweight, weighing over 60 kilograms now. From junior high to the first year of high school, she grew about 4-5 cm.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, a child's height is related to genetics, as well as to postnatal growth and development. For example, factors such as insufficient nutrition, illness, poor sleep quality, and deficiencies in trace elements can affect it. It is recommended that parents take the child to the hospital for a check-up.
