Park Hye-young, chairman of the Bareun Growth Clinic at Himchan General Hospital in Incheon, presents the causes and solutions for the slow growth of small and lonely girls ahead of entering middle school on TV Chosun 'Kidentime 2' scheduled to air on the 16th.

Jang Soo-jin, a sixth grader in elementary school, is currently about 136 centimeters tall, similar to the average height of third-grade elementary school children. He works out hard and is active, but he feels tired easily and doesn't gain weight. At Himchan General Hospital in Incheon, the current bone age, predicted height, and cause of slow growth were checked through physical measurements, various tests, and hormone tests.

Jang Soo-jin is the lowest among 100 people in her age, and her bone age is nearly two years younger. Both height and weight were in the 100th percentile, and it was necessary to examine whether there were pathological causes that could cause hypotension. A growth hormone drug stimulation test was performed, and the growth hormone was fortunately normal, but unexpectedly, it was diagnosed as hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism is not a rare disease with a prevalence of 1-2% among adults in Korea, but it is a very rare disease that occurs in one out of 5,000 people with 0.02% in children.




Park Hye-young, chairman of the Barun Growth Clinic at Himchan General Hospital in Incheon, said, `It is an autoimmune disease caused by excessive secretion of thyroid hormones, and the speed of metabolism increases, causing the heart to beat fast, the body to have a high fever, and the breakdown of nutrients increases, which causes weight loss. The energy used for growth is not used properly and the body runs away with heat, so medication to normalize the level of the vaginal gland hormones is needed.' Broadcasting also solves questions about the effects of hyperthyroidism, a rare disease in children, on growth, treatment methods, and life management methods.

In the section that finds adults' joint health and hidden height, we look at the results of Yeo Soon-im's surgery, who was diagnosed with spinal stenosis last time, and her daily life changed after the surgery. In the broadcast, it delivers why it is important to take care of the spinal cord after fusion surgery that increases the stability of the spine, wear assistants, and exercise tips to help strengthen back muscles.

Kim Yoo-geun, director of Bupyeong Himchan Hospital, said "There are various ways to exercise online that help strengthen back muscles, but if you exercise in the wrong position, it can be rather poisonous."In the case of the elderly, they can maintain their back muscles only by walking or running lightly rather than exercising excessively.'
