Experts said that the treatment time of children's dwarfism in China is generally late, and the awareness rate, treatment rate and standardized treatment rate are all low. Many parents don't understand the law of children's growth and development, and they have missed the best treatment opportunity when their children are obviously shorter than their peers. Think that the child is only developing late and will be able to "jump up" in the future, but the bones are closed ...
"The bone age of boys is 13 years old, 14 years old, and that of girls is 1 1 half year old, 12 years old. If you go to treatment, the effect is not ideal, even if you use drugs, you may not achieve the expected effect. Early detection and early treatment are the key. " Cao Bingyan, deputy chief physician of Beijing Children's Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, said.
It is important for parents to find out their children are short early and measure their height regularly. "In order to ensure accuracy, it should be measured at the same time of the day every time, and it is best to use the same ruler to measure by the same person." Cao Bingyan said that after two years old, if the child's annual growth rate is less than 5 cm, and the annual growth rate in adolescence is less than 6 cm, it is necessary to go to the hospital.
Cao Bingyan said that parents should also pay attention to drawing children's growth curve tables with reference to standards. If it is found that the growth rate has obviously decreased and the height deviates from the normal growth curve, you should go to the hospital for examination and evaluation in time.
How can families help children grow up? Cao Bingyan said that growth hormone is an important hormone to promote height, and it generally ushered in a peak of secretion during night sleep. Parents should let their children go to bed before 10 pm, and preschool children should go to bed before 9 pm. In addition, adenoids and tonsil hypertrophy lead to snoring at night, which will also affect children's sleep quality. In such cases, you should seek medical advice in time.
Cao Xirong, chairman of the chinese primary health care Foundation, said that according to statistics, there are about 39 million short people in China, and the number of children aged 4- 15 who need treatment is about 7 million, but less than 300,000 patients see a doctor every year.
