"Spring is coming soon, I want my child to hurry up and 'pull out a child'. Recently, Wu's mother and 14-year-old Xiao Wu came from Jiangxi to Shanghai specifically for medical treatment.". But the X-ray shows that Xiao Wu's epiphysis is close to closure, which means that the child's growth and development are about to stop. "The child is only 163 centimeters long, is there really no hope of growing longer?" Wu's mother's question raised the voices of many parents. At the dwarfism specialist clinic of the Endocrine Genetics and Metabolism Department of the Affiliated Pediatric Hospital of Fudan University, many parents have gathered recently, hoping to use "height increasing needles" to help their children achieve "perfect height". Is the "height increasing needle" really useful? During the golden period of spring, the reporter walked into the dwarfism specialty clinic of a pediatric hospital to explore the truth. "Height anxiety" is a height issue for children in the growth hormone market, which troubles many parents. "Expected final height of 152 centimeters? Did you miscalculate, doctor?" In the consultation room of Zheng Zhangqian, deputy chief physician of the Endocrine Genetics and Metabolism Department at the Pediatric Hospital, a mother of a child heard his preliminary diagnosis and looked incredulous. The child standing aside is named Xiaojun, who is 9 years old this year. The examination showed that she grew and developed slowly, significantly later than her peers. "Neither her father nor I are short, how could the child not grow taller?" Then Xiaojun's mother asked again, "Can you give the child an injection?"? "Gao Gao Zhen", also known as growth hormone preparations, has been widely known among parents in recent years. We hope to promote children's height growth through human intervention and drug intervention. It can be said that some parents' anxiety about their children's height has directly ignited the growth hormone market in children. "Indeed, many parents in outpatient clinics are consulting about growth hormone," Zheng Zhangqian told reporters. From a medical perspective, whether a child is tall or not is considered "dwarfism". However, it is necessary to clarify what causes slow growth, whether it is a bad lifestyle or a lack of growth hormone. He particularly emphasized that many children with short stature do not have developmental abnormalities due to diseases, and even conform to genetic height development, so this is not a disease. Parents who can gather at the dwarfism clinic have a different expectation - to make their children grow as tall as possible. Even some parents have bluntly stated, "In order for their children to grow up without discrimination, find satisfactory jobs, and meet satisfactory partners, as long as they have material conditions, they should receive (booster shots)!" In an interview, Zheng Zhangqian bluntly stated that the so-called "three parts of a medicine are poisonous", and growth hormone also has side effects. In clinical practice, some children may experience thyroid diseases, elevated blood sugar levels, and allergic reactions after injection. His advice to parents is not to get vaccinated unless absolutely necessary. The real shortcut to growing taller begins with good lifestyle habits in outpatient clinics. Zheng Zhangqian often provides health education to parents: there are many factors that affect a child's growth and development, among which genetic factors account for nearly 70%, while acquired factors account for 30%, including sleep, diet, exercise, etc. As the saying goes, deficiencies arise before they are replenished, but unfortunately, many children do not have good living habits. Xiao Bo is already 6 years old this year, but his bone age is only 4 years old. Generally speaking, the difference between bone age and age should be within plus or minus 1 year. The doctor looked through the examination report and found that the child was noticeably missing
