Patient's question:
The child is a small for gestational age (SGA) baby and is now 2 years old. The height is 80 cm, and the weight is 20 kg. Will the child be short? Is the height within the standard range? Is it recommended to use growth hormone?Doctor's answer:
Hormones cannot be used arbitrarily based on height; they also require examination and evaluation. Physical examinations, nutritional assessments, tests for trace elements, bone age, hormone levels, nutritional balance, vitamin deficiencies, and endocrine system abnormalities may consider hormone therapy. I recommend that you consult a doctor in detail about your child's condition and how to proceed with treatment. It's also important to pay attention to your child's dietary nutrition in daily life. I hope the above explanation is helpful to you.
