Park Hye-young, chairman of the Bareun Growth Clinic at Himchan General Hospital in Incheon, examines the causes and solutions of short children's slow growth, although not hypodermic, on TV Chosun 'Kidentime 2' scheduled to air on the 23rd.

Kang Seung-yoon, a fourth grader in elementary school, is currently about 128 centimeters tall, similar to the average height of boys in the second grade of elementary school. I usually play well with my friends and am active, but I get upset in soccer class because of my short height and physique. Find the cause of short stature through daily life, such as a life of suffering from allergic rhinitis and constipation and a diet of enjoying jelly rather than rice. In particular, the mother herself has a lot of experience of shrinking because she is short, so she is very worried about her son.

At Himchan General Hospital in Incheon, the current bone age and predicted height were checked through various tests, including physical measurements. Kang Seung-yoon's height is the lowest among 100 people, and a growth hormone drug stimulation test was performed to check whether there was a difference in bone age for more than 24 months or a pathological cause. As a result, two items showed abnormal reactions and were diagnosed as growth hormone deficiency. Growth hormone injection treatment is needed to compensate for the lack of growth hormones.




Park Hye-young, chairman of the Barun Growth Clinic at Himchan General Hospital in Incheon, said "Growth hormone injection treatment checks in various ways whether there are any discomfort or side effects felt by the child at the beginning."It is important to make a careful decision when you start because once you start, you have to continue the treatment over a long period of time."

It examines the effects of allergic rhinitis and constipation on growth on the broadcast, explains what needs to be checked before starting growth hormone injection treatment, and explains the cases where growth hormone injection treatment cannot be performed immediately, helping viewers to wonder and understand.
