The cause and solution of the delay in the growth of twin brothers who dream of becoming a basketball player are unveiled in the book 'Kidden Time 2'
Dec 13, 2024
Park Hye-young, chairman of the Bareun Growth Clinic at Incheon Himchan General Hospital, will examine the causes of the delay in height growth of fraternal twin brothers who dream of becoming basketball players but are worried about them due to their short stature and present solutions on TV Chosun 'Kiden Time 2' which will be broadcast on the 14th.
The twin brothers Seo Eui-chan and Seo In-chan, who are in the sixth grade of elementary school, are active as youth basketball players, but they are shorter than their peers, especially in the basketball department, so they had a hard time training or playing games. Moreover, despite being in the sixth grade of elementary school, parents were worried because secondary sexual characteristics have not yet appeared.
Currently, Seo Eui-chan, the fraternal twin brother, is 147cm tall and Seo In-chan is 143cm, similar to the average height of the 4th and 5th graders in elementary school, which is shorter than the average height of his peers, 154cm. In addition, normal growth was not occurring because there were no signs of secondary sexual characteristics such as a mutated voice or beard.
Various tests, including physical measurements, were conducted at Himchan General Hospital in Incheon to examine the causes of sluggish growth of the two children. As a result, male hormone levels in both children were about one-tenth lower than their peers' normal standards. In addition, the volume of testicles was measured at the bottom 1%, which was about a fifth smaller than that of boys of the same age due to the delay in puberty. The lack of male hormones seems to have affected height growth.
Park Hye-young, chairman of the Bareun Growth Clinic at Himchan General Hospital in Incheon, said, `In infancy, growth hormones determine height growth, but when adolescence begins when secondary sexual characteristics begin, growth hormones and sex hormones affect height growth together.' In this case, after solving problems such as decreased muscle mass bone density and decreased germline function through puberty induction treatment that supplements insufficient male hormones with injections, and allowing normal body development to proceed, height growth can be expected through growth hormone injection treatment at an appropriate time.'
In the broadcast, it checks whether there are any changes and side effects that occur when starting male hormone injection treatment, and checks the needs of growing children, such as why proper eating habits and proper sodium intake are important.
In the section that protects the joint health of adults and finds hidden heights, the story of Kim Ye-soon (69, female), who has severe knee pain but is happy enough to forget that she is sick when volunteering at a day care center, will be introduced. Kim, who was already diagnosed with degenerative arthritis 10 years ago, had been standing for 12 hours a day for 20 years, and his knees were damaged a lot. Already, the right knee ruptured cartilage 10 years ago and underwent knee arthroscopy. Both of them are degenerative arthritis, and the right side is mid-term arthritis, but the left side has about 10 degrees of leg deformation due to terminal arthritis, which requires artificial joint surgery.
He became younger and brighter after undergoing robotic artificial joint surgery on his left knee, which progressed to terminal arthritis, with the lead of Jin-ho, head of the orthopedic surgery at Gangbuk Himchan Hospital. Kim, who spends his daily life growing his dream of growing a small garden after recovering his knee health, can be seen on the broadcast.
Regarding Kim's right knee, Kim Yoo-geun, head of the orthopedic clinic at Bupyeong Himchan Hospital, said, `It is necessary to manage the mid-term arthritis so that it does not progress or worsen, but we need to take an X-ray once a year to check the progress of arthritis, and to manage it by receiving cartilage injections every six months."It is good to do muscle strengthening exercises around the knee through indoor bicycles or walking exercises while avoiding squatting on the floor or double-legged posture."
