Patient's question:
Clean lower body, not large, voice hasn't changed, no stubble. Had bone age tested last year, it was normal. Had an endocrine check a few days ago, among which luteinizing hormone was 3.16, normal. Testosterone was 0.83, very low. Chromosome test was normal.Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons for short stature. Initial screening can include checking thyroid function and six sex hormones. Regardless of whether the results are normal or abnormal, further tests are often needed, such as growth hormone, pituitary-adrenal hormones, bone age, etc. If your secondary sexual characteristics are also poorly developed, tests for uterine appendages or chromosomes may also be necessary. Hypothyroidism can affect normal growth and development. Timely supplementation with thyroid hormone can restore thyroid function and ensure normal growth and development.
