My child is 7 years old and has a short stature. What could be the reason?

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 tell me why my child, who is seven years old, is short in stature?

Doctor's answer:

Sub-health problems are related to intergenerational inheritance and endocrine issues, primarily focusing on bone age. For children under 2, nutrition is a key factor. Currently, you can visit a hospital to get a bone age X-ray and undergo a pituitary MRI. Additionally, growth hormone therapy can be considered to promote height.
Furthermore, for patients with short stature, their dietary condition and care during treatment are also very important. Patients must pay attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary injuries. I hope the above information can assist you. Thank you.
