Park Hye-young, chairman of the Barun Growth Clinic at Himchan General Hospital in Incheon, checked the latest status of the child, who was diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency last year, and has been continuously receiving injections, and additional matters necessary for growth on TV Chosun 'Kiden Time 2' aired on the 5th.

Cha Eun-woo (9), the main character, was so short that he was similar to his six-year-old brother even though he was a first grader in elementary school, and he was stressed by outdoor activities due to his small physique and weak physical strength. My parents were worried because they did not eat properly and were passive in their behavior. A year later, Cha Eun-woo grew about 10cm tall, similar to his peers, and as he grew taller, his personality became brighter, confidence became more active, and outdoor activities became more active. In addition, he does not drink soda that is not good for height growth, eats food evenly, and hangs on to a bar that is good for height growth.

Currently, Cha Eun-woo is about 122cm tall, growing from the 5th percentile last year to the 11th percentile, catching up with the height of his peers. There is more room for growth in the future as he is constantly receiving growth hormone injection treatment. On this day's broadcast, another growth test was conducted for the first time in a year, and Cha Eun-woo also checked the matters necessary for further growth in the future.




As a result of the conference of medical staff at Himchan General Hospital in Incheon, scoliosis was confirmed more than a year ago, so it was diagnosed that steady exercise and correct posture were needed. In addition, Cha Eun-woo is receiving growth hormone injection treatment, but as he stopped due to disease in the middle, the interval between bone age and calendar age appeared from 2 years and 5 months to 2 years and 9 months, indicating that constant management is needed.

Park Hye-young, chairman of the Bareun Growth Clinic at Himchan General Hospital in Incheon, said, "Acute diseases put stress on the body, and it is important to manage immunity because stopping injection treatment reduces the power to overcome stress and has a bad effect on treatment. Taking injection treatment does not mean unconditional growth, but you need to eat a healthy diet, exercise, and deep sleep together in your daily life to achieve better results, especially if your child does not take a minor step, it is good to take good care of your health because growth hormones can help your child grow taller."

TV Chosun 'KidenTime2', which allows you to check your child's height growth questions and clear solutions, airs every Saturday at 12 p.m.
