Patient's question:
Please ask if a 9-year-old child who is only 125 cm tall has had a thorough check for growth hormone deficiency, and what is the reason for slow growth in the past two or three years.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, if a thorough examination confirms a lack of growth hormone, it can be addressed. Advice: Based on your description, it is recommended that you first visit the endocrinology department of a hospital for a thorough examination and diagnosis. Growth hormone can be administered in a scheduled and measured manner. In addition, during the treatment for growth retardation, apart from symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must avoid excessive mental stress and worry to prevent unnecessary interference from hindering the complete recovery of growth retardation.
