Patient's question:
Because I was born prematurely and suffered from malnutrition since childhood, I have always been short. I am only 143 cm tall now. I am 14 years old and developing normally in all other aspects. Both my parents are 160 cm tall. Can I still use growth hormone to increase my height?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the reasons for slow growth in children are determined by factors such as genetics, environment, nutrition, and heredity, which influence a child's growth potential. The environment determines the speed of growth. If your child doesn't like to eat, it will inevitably lead to nutritional imbalance. Even if trace element test results are within the normal range, slow growth can still occur. You can improve your child's appetite and promote their growth by diversifying their diet and ensuring nutritional balance.
