Patient's question:
My daughter is now over nine years old. There are signs of her development. Her bone age is 11 years old. The doctor said she needs to get injections. She is currently 140 cm tall. She said she has only 15 cm of growth left. Both my husband and I have normal heights. Does she need injections? Do injections have side effects?Doctor's answer:
Guidance: Regarding the situation you mentioned above, we should first conduct further checks to understand the child's specific condition. The situation you mentioned is actually normal and is influenced by external environmental factors. This is also a common phenomenon affecting physical development. However, it does not affect the child's normal height development. There is no need for certain hormone therapies. We should check the level of growth hormone in the body and conduct further examinations. Bone density testing should be performed to assess the current situation before taking any action. No medication is required.
