Question
If a child grows about 5 cm per year, could it be a sign of dwarfism?
Answer
Height issues are mainly related to genetics, postnatal nutrition, and exercise. Whether or not it’s dwarfism can be found out through hospital tests. 1. It’s suggested not to worry too much about your height. Height varies from person to person; some are tall, some are short, and both have their own advantages and disadvantages. 2. If you’re still worried, you can go to the pediatric endocrinology department of a top-grade hospital for a check-up (bone age, endocrine hormones, etc.).
