Question
What should I do if my child is diagnosed with dwarfism?
Answer
I’m sorry to hear that your child has been diagnosed with dwarfism. It is recommended that you further investigate the cause of the child’s short stature, as there can be many potential causes, including insufficient or excessive growth hormone secretion. These reasons may include primary or secondary causes, such as hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction, genetic growth hormone deficiency, head tumors, infections, cell infiltration, and head trauma. It is advisable to consult with a professional physician for more detailed diagnostic and treatment recommendations.
