Patient's question:
Daughter is 7 years and 10 months old, but yesterday when her bone age was measured, it was said to be 10 years and 8 months. I am very skeptical. My question is: 1. Can bone age measurements vary due to different radiologists? Generally, long-term piano players may experience finger deformities. Moreover, the teacher also requires students to stretch their fingers as much as possible.Doctor's answer:
Hello,1. The determination of skeletal age is achieved through X-ray measurements to observe skeletal maturation markers, with a set of common standards. Generally, doctors do not see significant differences.
2. Excessive exercise has a minimal impact on the secretion of growth hormone in the human body. However, in modern diets, there are also various components that can lead to hormonal imbalances or excessive hormone secretion, which may result in accelerated skeletal age. Uncertainty exists between playing the piano and dietary restrictions. As for this. If the child does not exhibit any discomfort symptoms, they usually do not need to worry about their condition. For children's diets, it is best to use green foods as much as possible.
