Patient's question:
Dr. Yan, hello; I am 14 years old and in the first year of junior high school. I am 136 cm tall, and seeing that my classmates are taller than me, I am very anxious. I haven't grown yet, and I feel very depressed. Last July, I went to the Children's Hospital in Xi'an for a check-up. In the fifth outpatient department, I had a growth hormone test. At that time, I was 131.6 cm tall, and I grew less than 5 cm in a year.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, it is likely caused by a lack of calcium or trace elements. You can get a trace element test done to check. Try taking Scherl Calcium, cod liver oil, and multivitamins orally. It will gradually improve. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
