Patient's question:
If you want to monitor the height growth rate of the child at the same time, even if the child is short, then the child's height is short,Doctor's answer:
Baby dwarfism refers to a height below the average height minus two standard deviations for age. If the height falls below this level, it is considered that the child may have dwarfism. However, dwarfism should also be evaluated based on the child's growth rate. If the recent growth rate is good, it may be due to some nutritional or health issues that affected the child's height growth in the past. If the growth rate is also slow, specific causes should be identified. Common causes include dysfunction of other organs and endocrine abnormalities. The most common causes are abnormal nutritional status in children, kidney problems, liver problems, or growth hormone deficiency. Different solutions should be adopted based on the specific causes.
