Children with dwarfism typically begin growth hormone treatment at around 6 years old. In China, treatment tends to start later, so it is recommended to diagnose and treat early.
The duration and effectiveness of growth hormone therapy vary due to individual differences, family financial conditions, and age, but it usually requires long-term treatment to achieve a stable lifelong height.
The treatment for dwarfism requires determination based on individual causes, and not all cases require the use of growth hormones. When a child shows a tendency towards short stature, it is important to conduct timely checks to determine the cause.
