Growth retardation and short stature in children?

The treatment of growth retardation and short stature is an important medical treatment that has undergone significant development in recent years. This issue is diagnosed in the pediatric clinic at Remain Medical Complexes using international standards to follow the child’s growth throughout the different stages of his/her life.

 Growth stages are categorized into: Fetal development, infancy, childhood, and adulthood, and each stage requires careful monitoring.

 

Diagnosis is based on regular monitoring of the child, starting with measuring weight and height, monitoring head circumference, and checking hormones and bones. Bone age is also assessed by imaging the forearm and wrist, ensuring proper bone development.

 

To treat growth retardation, doctors determine the underlying cause of short stature, whether it is genetic or due to hormonal disorders.

 A treatment plan is implemented that includes proper nutrition, hormonal replacement when needed, as well as delaying puberty in some cases to ensure better bone growth

Each child’s treatment is individually customized based on their condition, ensuring that the best health care is provided to achieve normal growth.
