Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with dwarfism when I was a child, and now at 18, I'm only 150 cm tall. I'm really troubled. I'm a boy, and how will I survive like this in the future? Please ask: What are some effective ways to alleviate the condition of being short?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you solve your questions. The growth and development of height are related to various factors such as intergenerational inheritance, nutrition, activity, disease, deep sleep, living environment, and more. If the growth plates have already fused, there is basically no room for growth. If they haven't fused, drink more milk to digest calcium and do more activities like pedaling, which are beneficial for height growth. If the condition of being short is severe, it is recommended that the patient start treatment immediately, and hope that the patient can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition. The above answers hope to help you. Thank you.
