Which Hospitals Treat Dwarfism?

Question

I am 22 years old and only 1.52 meters tall, which is relatively short among my circle of friends. Which hospitals can treat dwarfism?

Answer

The treatment for dwarfism needs to be determined based on the individual’s cause. Not all individuals with dwarfism require growth hormone therapy; it is only considered under specific conditions, such as growth hormone deficiency. Additionally, there are some diseases where growth hormone therapy may not be appropriate or effective. Therefore, when a child shows a tendency towards short stature, it is important to take them to the hospital for immediate checks, including bone age assessment, growth hormone stimulation tests, and thyroid function tests, to determine the cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
