The bone tests age that can't foresee accurately children are tall
Near the period of time, the growth clinic of some hospitals in Beijing welcomes peak period. Parents play a very important role in the child's growth, but there are many mistaken ideas on the child's height. A lot of parents fear one's own child lags behind on the height, let children try various tonics and method of increasing ceaselessly; It is caused by disease that many parents can't know child's tall defect correctly, affect the best treatment time adversely. Then how on earth to judge whether the child's height is enough for the standard? How to help children to form the good habits and customs which are favorable to growth at ordinary times? The clinic is observed the growth clinic prevails in summer vacation time, reasons are variant Recently, the pediatrics growth clinic that the reporter comes to BJ Children's Hospital, Xuanwu Hospital and some social medical organizations is found, the growth clinic prevails very much during summer vacation. Growth situations of children and come to go to a doctoring differ significantly, some of children of the same age gender are modest, some are pogdy. The intersection of visit and reason of parents have nothing in common with each other too, some think child grow soon as a child as oneself, some think children shorter than the other children of the same age, some come to do routine inspection. The person of granddaughter from Haidian District is bringing little daughter to do the inspection with mother, one three generations let hospital clinic crowded space seem more nervous originally. The granddaughter person says: "I did not originally plan to bring child to check, but my mother has been thinking all the time the child had no me to grow fast as a child, insist on letting me bring child to the hospital to have a look. In fact our family's height before me is not high, but I am more special, have looked relatively high since childhood. Whether can grow tall on earth after reaching my child's place, is it because there's something wrong with to grow high, I can't say this one too. " Associate professor of treatment of BJ Children's Hospital division of endocrinology Wu Di says, it has many kinds of reasons that short and small, the pituitary secretes growth hormone and insufficient growth hormone and deficiency disease, family short and small special syndrome and smaller than age such as fetus,etc., cause the intersection of child and tall low the intersection of odd and main reason relatively, the ones that led to the fact in different situations are short and small and different too on the manifestation, can't treat as the same, parents should depend on too that go to the hospital to check and treat in different situations. How does doubtful point dissect the height standard to judge whether children are short and small Whether the child's height is up to standard of, it is the question that a lot of parents care about very much. Before growing up, it is still a mystery how high the child can grow on earth, so parents can only infer child's height in the future through each stage child's growth situation. Then what kind of situation is short and small on earth, have a concrete reference standard? Associate professor of treatment of BJ Children's Hospital division of endocrinology Wu Di says, short and small definition mean height under the less than and age and the intersection of gender and 300th the intersection of location and line two following standard deviation. Most parents do not have specialized medical knowledge, can judge whether children may suffer from the short and small disease by but some simple methods. Two years old is lower than 7 centimeters every year to the three -year-old growth speed, the growth speed is lower than 5 centimeters every year from three years old to adolescence, the growth speed is lower than 6 centimeters every year in adolescence, may suffer from the short and small disease, should go to the section hospital to check as soon as possible. In addition, if parents find the child's height is obviously lower than that of the other most children of same sex of the same age, also may suffer from short and small disease,etc. to should pay attention to children. The bone tests a respect that can only reflect development age a lot of parents will take children to do test age of the bone now, a lot of private organizations attract parents by test age of the free bone too. The bone test reliably age, can really predict the adult height? The pediatrics chief physician field Lily of Xuanwu Hospital says, the bone tests age that indicates that judges the growth situation of the skeleton according to certain maturity that the skeleton demonstrates on X ray photo, might not predict the height in the future accurately, because the factor influencing height is numerous. The bone tests age that generally chooses the bone of left wrist, the nuclear quantity that ossify on the carpal bone through observing, judge the maturity of the skeleton. In addition, the big joint such as knee and elbow of the long bone, shoulder joints and hip joints can all be used as the bone and assessed and tested age. Field Lily says, the bone tests age only this side reflects the development situation of the body through the skeleton, can judge whether ripeness and real age of child's body conform, offer a scientific basis for short and small treatment. But parents should not only value the bone for age, but should put sight in directing the treatment of the development situation against. Some diseases are short and small so long as find early that treat early, have an opportunity to help children to look a bit higher. It can't be by if find children short and smalling that growth hormone is not fit for symptom, can treat through the medical means? Wu Di says, should take different therapeutic method to different indication, if some situations treat and can make better result in time. If children's pituitary secretes growth hormone insufficiently, will lead to the fact that growing presents the obstacle. This kind of situation can be treated through supplementing growth hormone, generally curative effect is better before adolescence. But supplement hormone, will produce greater side effect? Wu Di says, growth hormone was invented since 1985, had already become safe and more effective treatment means so far. Treat and make the good result to corresponding indication. But there are some irregular medical organizations in the society at present, the psychology that the child grows tall that utilize parents to hope urgently, is not suitable for also symptom to use growth hormone to some, this may cause the injury to the child's health. For example a 6 -year-old child's height is lower than peers, but his bone has been already over 6 years old age, prove his development level is not slow, should not use growth hormone at this moment.
