Question
Does chemotherapy affect height and hair growth?
Answer
The impact of chemotherapy on height and hair growth varies from individual to individual. However, chemotherapy drugs may affect bone growth and the endocrine system, thereby influencing height and hair growth. For premature infants or children in the process of development, this impact may be more pronounced. Parents should closely monitor their child’s growth status and maintain communication with doctors to adjust treatment plans in a timely manner. At the same time, reasonable nutritional support and growth monitoring are also important.
