Inquiry
Hello: My son is 6 years and 6 months old this year, and he is 105CM tall. In November last year, we had a detailed check-up at the hospital (he was 99.5CM tall), and the result was that he has a growth hormone deficiency, with a bone age of about two and a half weeks. The doctor recommended injecting growth hormone, but we did not take this approach. Now, we have observed that his height has increased by about 5CM. Hello, if we do not inject growth hormone, are there any other methods that can better treat this condition?
Response
Firstly, I wish your little one a swift recovery. Your child is suffering from a growth hormone deficiency, which is primarily treated by injecting growth hormone. Since the body cannot produce growth hormone naturally, it can only be obtained through artificial administration. I suggest you follow the doctor’s instructions. Co-operate with the doctor’s treatment as mentioned above is my suggestion for the question of “treating dwarfism.” I hope it is helpful to you, and wish you health! Children threatened by dwarfism, therefore, mothers must bring their children to see a doctor for treatment in time to avoid various misunderstandings. Timely symptomatic treatment is essential. For parents, it is important to give children enough care and attention and to do everything possible to help them receive timely treatment for their diseases.
