Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. How can I treat delayed fontanel closure?Doctor's answer:
Although the anterior fontanelle typically closes around 18 months, some children may close it earlier. However, this does not mean that cranial growth stops, as head circumference growth ceases only when the sutures between the bones fuse between the ages of 13 and 14. Therefore, some infants with early fontanelle closure may still continue to grow in head circumference as the brain develops, and this generally does not affect intellectual development.
