Patient's question:
My child is a bit shorter than his peers, and he is also introverted. After a thorough examination, it was diagnosed as dwarfism, which makes us very distressed? Therefore, we want to consult about the harms and impacts of dwarfism on children.Doctor's answer:
1、Harm to life and practice: Children with short stature have low quality of life, and research has found that if untreated, children with dwarfism will only grow to about 130 cm tall when they become adults. Compared to the height of a normal person, children with dwarfism face numerous difficulties in daily life. In addition, short children are often discriminated against and mocked by classmates, which triggers a hatred for classroom practice and leads 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, with the hope of securing a bright future.
