Patient's question:
The doctor is short in stature and not lacking in flesh; he eats everything but in small amounts, and remains quite thin. Could you please explain why it has been difficult to grow taller over the years?Doctor's answer:
In such cases, when a girl is 16 years old, it may not be possible to grow taller. You can go to a regular hospital for a thorough check-up on the growth plates. If the growth plates have not fused, you should check the growth hormone levels to see if they are normal or deficient. If there is a deficiency, replacement therapy may be considered. Short stature is a serious condition, and it is recommended that patients start treatment immediately. It is hoped that patients can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to self-care, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
