Patient's question:
Starting from the age of 2, I would stutter at intervals. Then it would get better, and then I would start stuttering again. Moreover, there were also some bad habits, such as squinting my eyes, stretching my neck, and so on. These habits were corrected, and then the next habit would follow immediately. Moreover, it always went back and forth like this.Doctor's answer:
Stuttering refers to interruptions in speech, repetition, and fluency. It is a common language disorder in childhood. Approximately 5% of children suffer from stuttering, accounting for about 5% of the total child population. About half of children with stuttering develop the condition before the age of 5. It forms in early childhood, and it is also the easiest time to correct it. If it is not corrected in early childhood, stuttering may sometimes accompany a person throughout their life. There are many methods to self-correct stuttering. However, most methods begin with eliminating the causes of stuttering and poor pronunciation.
