Many mothers want their children to be exaggerated and grow fast, but what you don't know is that if the child grows too fast, it is not necessarily a good thing, such as a 4-year-old who looks like a 7-year-old. Because our children have their own growth patterns, growing too fast or too slowly may not be normal. If you grow too fast, you may develop congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
What is congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a common autosomal disorder caused by defects in proteins and enzymes involved in cortisol biosynthesis. Because of insufficient cortisol synthesis, the concentration in the blood circulation is reduced, so that the adrenal corticosteroid is higher than the normal level, causing adrenal hyperplasia.
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a recessive heredity, and each person shows different symptoms, and some of the children are faster in height than people of the same age, because the bones develop too fast, resulting in the bones in the back to stop developing and grow tall.
How to diagnose early
The sooner parents know about this hidden disease, the better, what kind of diagnosis is there?
Newborn disease screening has been carried out in some places, and 3-5 days after the baby is born, blood is collected at the heel, the blood is dripped on special filter paper, and early detection is carried out by professional testing methods.
If there is no condition for early detection, parents must do a good job of testing the child's growth, regular physical examination, draw a growth curve, and if the growth curve deviates too much from the normal range, it is necessary to seek medical treatment in time.
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a genetic disease, once confirmed to be lifelong treatment, which requires parents, babies and doctors to work together to do a good job of long-term medication, regular follow-up and adjustment of medication according to the situation.
As a parent, it is more from the daily life to take care of, you need to pay attention to the following points:
1. As a parent, you should remind your baby to take medicine on time, and do a good job of psychological comfort and counseling for your child, and if there is an abnormal situation, seek medical treatment in time.
2. As a parent, we should pay attention to detecting whether the child has an excessive replacement of glucocorticoids due to long-term medication, glucocorticoids are an important type of regulatory molecule in our body, which plays an important regulatory role in the development, growth, metabolism and immune function of the body. Pay attention to whether there is a change in weight, whether the face becomes round, the back becomes wider, and the skin appears purple.
3. As a parent, pay attention to whether the child has various stress states due to long-term medication, especially symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea, nausea, etc., and seek medical treatment in time to adjust the dosage under the guidance of the doctor.
As a parent, we all want to grow up healthily, grow tall, and grow fast, but we must also pay attention to the occurrence of situations that occur too fast or too slowly, and if found, seek medical treatment in time.
