Patient's question:
Hello, I am 22 years old this year. But my height is really only 152 cm, and it's really hard for me in my social circle.Doctor's answer:
The causes of dwarfism vary, and the treatment also varies accordingly. Not all cases of dwarfism require growth hormone treatment; only those that fall within the scope of growth hormone treatment should be treated with it. In some cases, growth hormone treatment is unnecessary and ineffective. Therefore, when a child shows signs of dwarfism, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Through examinations such as bone age assessment, growth hormone stimulation tests, and thyroid function tests, the underlying cause can be identified.
