Patient's question:
Because of a certain illness, I have been unable to stop taking medication for a long time. Due to the medication, my endocrine system has become problematic. Now, I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. Could you please tell me the symptoms of dwarfism in children?Doctor's answer:
Common symptoms include the re-emergence of slow physical growth in children after the age of one to two, with some even stagnating in the early childhood stage. The symptoms become more pronounced as the child ages, especially after the growth spurt stops. Even adult dwarfs with the condition are taller than 130 centimeters. Children with dwarfism are shorter than their peers, but their intelligence is on par with their age-mates. Their body parts grow proportionally, so they may appear like children in appearance, but apart from physical growth, all other aspects are normal.
