What are the hazards and impacts of dwarfism in children?

Patient's question:

My child is a bit shorter than his peers, and he is also introverted. After a thorough check, it was diagnosed as dwarfism, which makes us very distressed? So, we want to consult about the harms and impacts of dwarfism on children.

Doctor's answer:

1、Harm to life, practice: Children with short stature have low quality of life, surveys found that if dwarfism patients are not treated, their height will only be around 130 cm when they grow up. Compared to the height of a normal person, dwarf patients face many difficulties in life. In addition, short children are often discriminated against and mocked by classmates, which triggers a hatred for classroom practice in children, leading to phenomena such as school aversion and truancy.
2、Harm to future prospects: Parents have been working hard to train their children before or after birth in order to provide them with the best living environment, cultivate their skills, and help them become valuable individuals in the future, hoping they can have a bright future.
