Patient's question:
Lower body is clean, not large, voice hasn't changed, no stubble. Bone age was tested last year and it was normal. Had an endocrine check a few days ago, among which luteinizing hormone is 3.16, normal. Testosterone is 0.83, very low. Chromosome test is normal.Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons for short stature. Initial screening can include checking thyroid function and six sex hormones. Regardless of whether the results are normal or abnormal, further tests are often needed, such as growth hormone, pituitary-adrenal hormones, bone age, etc. If your secondary sexual characteristics are also poorly developed, tests on the uterine appendages or chromosomes may also be necessary. Hypothyroidism can affect normal growth and development. Timely supplementation with thyroid hormone can restore thyroid function and ensure normal growth and development.
