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 what symptoms are associated with dwarfism in children?Doctor's answer:
Dwarfism, also known as being shorter in stature. Most children, around the age of two or three, may experience a halt in their growth due to insufficient secretion of growth hormone. As a result, the height of most individuals with dwarfism remains between 60 to 70 centimeters, or around 1 meter. Generally, if a child is diagnosed with dwarfism, only their height stops growing, while other aspects are mostly unaffected, especially intelligence. If intelligence is also impaired, it is referred to as cretinism.
