Is the Cost of Treatment for Dwarfism Expensive?

Question

Is my child suffering from dwarfism? At two years old, my child is 80 cm tall, at three years old, 86.5 cm, and at three and a half years old, 91 cm. Is this dwarfism?

Answer

Hello: There are various reasons for a small stature, some are a natural process, some are genetic factors, and some are due to diseases. Up to 80% to 90% of children with growth delays belong to normal growth variations, such as familial short stature and constitutional developmental delay. These are related to congenital genetic factors. For such cases, individuals should still create good external conditions in later life to maximize growth potential. In short, whether one can grow taller depends on the individual.
