Patient's question:
I have been diagnosed with dwarfism since I was a child. Recently, I met a boy who has the same condition. We are planning to get married and have children, so we want to go to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said that my dwarfism is causing underdeveloped ovaries. I want to know how to treat it?Doctor's answer:
Congenital ovarian dysgenesis in children is primarily characterized by short stature, and other symptoms are usually not obvious. Congenital ovarian dysgenesis is mainly caused by irregular menstruation, and girls may not visit a gynecologist until adulthood. Due to missed follow-up appointments, the failure to address height development can lead to short stature in adulthood and secondary sexual development disorders, which greatly interferes with physical and mental health. Congenital ovarian dysgenesis is one of the more serious conditions that can cause short stature in girls. Parents should monitor their child's height growth regularly and seek prompt diagnosis to identify any abnormalities in height development.
