Short stature, or short height, in children may result from various factors, including genetic predisposition, hormonal imbalances, or underlying medical conditions. It can be a normal variation or indicate a growth-related issue. Diagnosing the cause involves evaluating growth patterns, family history, and conducting relevant medical tests. Growth hormone deficiency, thyroid disorders, and skeletal issues are common contributors. Early intervention with growth hormone therapy or addressing underlying conditions is crucial for optimal outcomes. A multidisciplinary approach involving pediatricians, endocrinologists, and geneticists aims to ensure comprehensive care, addressing both the physical and emotional well-being of children with short height.
