How to Deal with Early Puberty Leading to Stunted Growth and Slow Development?

Question

Hello, my daughter is now 13 years old, but she is only 1.3 meters tall. It’s the time when she should be growing the most, but over the past two years, she hasn’t grown much. How should we deal with early puberty leading to stunted growth and slow development?

Answer

This question is related to the body’s hormone secretion, of course, as well as nutritional status. First, please relax and ensure that your daughter’s diet is balanced and nutritionally sufficient. Additionally, it is recommended to take her to the hospital for a check-up on growth hormone secretion, and consider medication treatment if necessary. Encourage her to engage in physical activities regularly, which can help promote her body’s growth. Please note that a 13-year-old girl is still in the phase of physical development, so there is still a chance for her to grow taller.
