Question
What’s causing my 7-year-old child’s short stature?
Answer
Height issues are related to hereditary factors and endocrine problems, mainly concerning bone age. Issues within the first two years are often related to nutrition. You can now go to the hospital for a bone age X-ray, a pituitary MRI, and injections to increase growth hormone. Additionally, during treatment for short stature, the patient’s diet and care are also very important. Pay attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary injuries. I hope the above answer can assist you. Thank you.
