How old can dwarfism be found?

summary

Tall stature can not only bring people more self-confidence, many people have strict requirements on height when they are looking for partners, and some jobs also limit their height. Every parent hopes that their children can grow tall, but dwarfism makes many parents feel very uncomfortable. How old can we find dwarfism? Let's get to know.

How old can dwarfism be found?

First: dwarfism is a very strange disease. The obvious characteristic of dwarfism patients is that their height is lower than that of normal people. The patients show that everything is normal when they were born, and they grow slowly from March to June. They will find people of the same age who are lower than normal when they are two to three years old, and their annual growth rate is less than 4cm / year. It is suggested that they can go to the hospital for relevant examination.

Second: dwarfism can be found when children are 2 to 3 years old. The average normal child's height in the first year after birth will be 75cm, but children with dwarfism will grow slowly. Normal children grow 5cm to 8cm in height every year in early adolescence, while patients with dwarfism show a large gap in this period. Dwarfism is caused by the deficiency of growth hormone secretion for many reasons, which leads to the growth retardation. The etiology of dwarfism can be attributed to both congenital and acquired factors. Congenital factors mostly affect the growth and development of the fetus due to the deficiency of parents' essence and blood. Most of them are related to heredity, and the general intelligence development is normal.

Third: Generally speaking, dwarfism is more affected by genetic factors, but some patients will have their own dwarfism for unknown reasons. Generally speaking, when the child reaches puberty, if it is significantly lower than other children, or if it looks 4 to 5 years younger than the actual age, it can be concluded that it is dwarfism. Children suffering from dwarfism usually have an average height of less than 1.3 meters. Parents should always pay attention to the growth of their children.

matters needing attention

When you know the age of dwarfism, you can compare the growth rate of your baby. If the growth rate is slow, you can take your child to the hospital for relevant examination to see what causes the baby not to grow. If it is caused by malnutrition or lack of trace elements, there is still room for saving.
