7 common reasons that cause children to grow short and slow, with corresponding solutions, parents know.

Many parents have reported that the baby is short and slow, and asked me what the hell is going on; I think this is by no means an exception, and many parents should have encountered this situation.

Some may not only grow short and slow, but have not moved 1 centimeter for two or three months! Today I will explain to you the common causes of this phenomenon and the solutions.

Common Cause 1: Disease status

This is a situation that children often appear, especially in the spring and autumn, today's cold, tomorrow's fever, just sent to school for half a day, the teacher will call to let you go home to see a doctor, the cycle is not good.

Similar to this situation, children eat, nutrient absorption, sleep, bowel movements will be affected, most of the body's energy is taken to fight against diseases, rarely can be divided into growth and development, so naturally there will be slow and short, yellow muscle thin.

In the face of frequent illness, it is usually necessary to improve resistance from dressing, personal hygiene, eating, etc., dress in line with the season, wash hands frequently and wear masks, vegetables and meat are evenly matched, and give children a good body.

Common Cause 2: Physical Problems

Some children are also not often sick, but there are physical problems, and there will be slow growth and development.

Common abnormalities include strong stomach and weak spleen, spleen and stomach deficiency, weak lung qi, liver depression and so on.

The specific performance is not to eat well, or eat a lot of rice is not absorbed, often constipation, thinning, I have seen children 1 meal a day and say not hungry; children with weak lungs are prone to often get sick, and babies with bad livers are often manifested in larger mood swings.

In terms of physique, I have said before that winter is a good opportunity for children to adjust their physique, although winter has now passed, but for children with poor physique, they still have to be conditioned.

Common Cause 3: Aging of growth plates

This kind of child is also common, generally appearing in children with large bone age, such as girls close to 14 years old bone age, boys close to 15 years old bone age, at this time the growth plate gradually loses vitality, calcification, the ability to divide has been greatly reduced, so there will be slow growth, not high.

For children with aging growth plates, you can use traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine to delay bone age, give children more months or even a year and a half, can grow a little longer is a little, can not be left alone, especially the height itself is not high children.

Common Cause 4: Human growth patterns

In the process of human growth and development, in addition to the rapid growth rate of childhood and adolescence, changes can be seen every month, and changes can not be observed every month between the age of 3 and adolescence.

Between the ages of 3 and adolescence, it is normal for a person to grow at a rate of 6 centimeters per year, which is on average 0.5 centimeters a month, but in fact, the growth rate is not average.

It is possible that the baby has not grown a month, or even half a year is one or two centimeters long, slow and short, but when the end of the year to calculate, it is still 6 centimeters long, then there is no problem, do not worry.

Common Cause 5: Growth hormone deficiency

This kind of growth rate is slow and not easy to detect, the medical conditions were not good before, few people paid attention to this aspect, now it is different, many parents know this aspect, this is a good phenomenon.

Children like this, from the age of 3 to before puberty, if the length of a year is not more than 5 centimeters, it is necessary to consider the existence of deficiency; adolescence is less than 7 centimeters a year old, and the lack of growth hormone should also be considered.

This growth hormone deficiency, some are partially deficient, some are completely deficient, generally do provocation tests to obtain accurate values, 5 excitations, 1 time is greater than 10, that is not lacking, if they are less than 10, but 1 of them is greater than 5 less than 10, is partially deficient, all less than 5, this is complete deficiency.

For children with growth hormone deficiency, the most powerful means is growth hormone, generally in the face of complete lack of children, or it is recommended to exogenous hormones to help growth.

In the face of some children who are deficient, they can choose growth hormone, or you can choose Traditional Chinese medicine conditioning to indirectly promote the secretion of growth hormone.

Common Cause 6: Hereditary short stature

We say that before the child is 3 years old, the height is almost unaffected by genetics, and basically can grow to normal height, but after the age of 3, it is necessary to fight for inheritance, which can determine your growth rate and degree.

For example, Xiaoming's parents are 1 meter 68 and 1 meter 54, Xiao Liang's parents are 182 and 170 respectively, are boys, so we calculate the formula according to genetic height (father height + mother height + 13) ÷ 2±5 can be seen that Xiaoming's genetics are 5 centimeters above and below 167.5, and Xiao Liang floats 5 centimeters above and below 182.5.

Then, from the age of 3 (even before the age of 3), xiaoming and Xiaoliang's growth rate and height will gradually open, may be Xiaoming can only grow 6 centimeters in 1 year, but Xiaoliang can be 8 centimeters long, Xiaoming may be 1 centimeter long in 2 months, but Xiaoliang can grow 1 centimeter in 1 month.

In the face of hereditary short stature, the first thing is to do a good job in physique, diet, exercise, sleep and emotional management, give full play to the acquired management potential, and strive to grow more than five or six centimeters.

Common Cause 7: Stagnation before the surge period

There is also such a law of human growth and development, let's call it the "accumulation" stage, which often occurs in a period of time before the rapid growth of puberty.

If girls before the age of eleven or twelve, boys before the age of twelve or thirteen, there is a period of time to grow very slowly, parents do not worry too much, this is a normal phenomenon, after this period, may be two or three months or half a year, will reach the stage of rapid growth of puberty, this is the last sprint of human growth, must be grasped.

Of course, there are many other reasons for slow growth, shortness, such as endocrine problems, genetic problems, potential disease problems, etc., which require special situations to be analyzed and will not be repeated.

The above is the knowledge of long and high that I share with you today, and I hope to help you.
