What can be done if early puberty leads to stunted growth or slow growth?

Patient's question:

Hello, doctor. My daughter is now 13 years old, but her height is only 1.3 meters. It should be the two easiest years for her to grow taller, but in the past two years, my daughter hasn't grown much. Doctor, if she has precocious puberty, how can she not grow taller? How can we help her grow slower?

Doctor's answer:

This is related to the body's hormone excretion, of course, it is also related to nutritional status. First, relax your mood and ensure your daughter has a well-balanced diet. Additionally, you need to take your daughter to the hospital to check the excretion of growth hormone. If necessary, medication treatment should be implemented. Regularly encouraging your daughter to be more active also helps with physical growth. At 13, she is still in the stage of physical growth and will continue to grow taller.
