Patient's question:
My daughter is now over nine years old and showing signs of development. Her bone age is 11 years old. The doctor suggested she get injections. She is currently 140 cm tall and was told she has only 15 cm of growth left. Both my husband and I have normal heights. Should she get injections? Are there any side effects?Doctor's answer:
Guidance: For the situation you mentioned above, we should first conduct further checks to understand the child's specific circumstances. The situation you mentioned is actually normal and is influenced by external environmental factors. This is also a common phenomenon affecting physical development, but it does not affect the child's normal height development. There is no need to use certain hormone therapies. We should check the growth hormone levels in the body and conduct further examinations. Perform a bone density test to assess the current situation before taking any action, and avoid medication.
