Patient's question:
The child is short in stature and the shortest in the class. He said his classmates gave him a nickname, "Little Dwarf." If the child's short stature is suspected to be due to dwarfism, how is it treated?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it is likely that slow growth and development are caused by insufficient excretion of sex hormones. I recommend that you go to the endocrinology department of a regular hospital for a follow-up visit, have your blood tested for the six sex hormone levels, and receive targeted treatment for dwarfism. The harm of dwarfism to a child is significant. Once the mother notices the child's symptoms, she should immediately take the child to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, pay close attention to the child's care issues. It is recommended to have a proper diet and avoid cold foods. We hope the child can receive targeted treatment and recover!
