Ginseng and deer antler don't supplement blindly

The first hospital held a popular science lecture on children's growth and development Many parents rushed to the scene and asked experts for advice on "how to make children grow taller" The first hospital Pediatrics group director reminded parents that the incidence rate of short stature is high but not terrible The terrible thing is that many parents have misconceptions about their growth and development, which leads to children not receiving timely treatment and eventually losing the chance of growing up According to the data released by pediatric endocrine group of Chinese Medical Association, the incidence of growth retardation in Chinese children is as high as 9.9%, but the treatment rate is less than 1% It is understood that there are about 20000 dwarfism patients in Xiamen, but only about 600 are being treated and have been treated Lianqun reminded that parents should take their children to the pediatrics or Endocrinology Department of a large hospital in time once they find that their children have been sitting in the front row of the class for a long time, less than half of their children of the same age, and less than 5cm old "A mother came to see a doctor with her 18-year-old son, who was only 1.53 meters tall The examination found that the epiphysis was completely closed and there was no chance of growing tall The mother cried on the spot and begged me to think of a way to say that her son had already shown his disgust with the world " Lian Qun said that there are still many examples of children's regret for life because their parents don't know enough about dwarfism First of all, it's the theory of "early growth, late growth" Many parents think that children are shorter now, maybe they haven't entered the age of long growth, and they will grow up naturally in the future Next is the "genetic theory", that parents are not short children's height must be no problem In fact, height is determined by heredity, nutrition, environment, disease and other factors In the case of disease, such as insufficient secretion of growth hormone, it is completely out of genetic control In addition, some parents don't pay attention to the height problem when they see their children are on the high side If their children are eight or nine years old, they will quickly pull up more than their peers and show signs of sexual development, then they are likely to have precocious puberty In this case, the epiphysis of their children will be closed in advance, and their height will be shorter than that of ordinary people, that is, "tall children and short adults" Lianqun especially mentioned that people in Southern Fujian pay attention to "tonic" Some parents blindly give their children tonics or health products when they see their children are young "Ginseng, pilose antler and other substances containing similar hormones may cause premature development of children, which is not conducive to growth And some heighten product contain hormone, also can cause sexual precocity "3-12 years old is the golden period of dwarfism treatment If it is a lack of growth hormone, the amount of injection of growth hormone treatment is directly proportional to the weight Therefore, early diagnosis and early treatment are effective and cost less " Lian Qun revealed that the Department of Pediatrics of the first hospital will also work with the national and Fujian Provincial Association of dwarfs to establish a short stature popular science education base, and further popularize the knowledge of dwarfism prevention and treatment through popular science lectures, free clinics and other ways.
