Patient's question:
A while ago, I carefully checked and my child was diagnosed with dwarfism. After a period of examination, we also took calcium supplements and the like. I would like to ask, what should be done after a child is diagnosed with dwarfism?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to provide you with an answer. In your description of the condition, the child is now 6 years old and has been diagnosed with dwarfism by the hospital. Further detailed examinations are needed to identify the cause of the dwarfism, as there are many possible reasons. These can include an increase or decrease in growth hormone secretion. The causes can be primary, such as hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction or hereditary growth hormone deficiency, or secondary, such as intracranial tumors, infections, cellular infiltration, or head and mental trauma. These are all possible causes.
