Question
Can the child hospital check whether the epiphysis is closed?
Answer
The child hospital can check whether the epiphysis is closed. The child’s condition is mainly short stature. It is recommended to visit the pediatric department of the hospital for a follow-up consultation, take an X-ray of the bone age to clearly determine the closure of the epiphysis, and conduct a growth hormone stimulation test to understand whether it is due to a lack of growth hormone. If the conditions are met, timely growth hormone treatment can be provided to promote height growth. It is also recommended that the child maintain a balanced diet, combine meat and vegetables, strengthen physical exercise, and lead a healthy lifestyle.
