What is dwarfism

summary

Everyone has seen dwarfism, mainly because they are very small. When I was a child, there was one such person in the village. Now let's introduce what is dwarfism?

What is dwarfism

First of all, dwarfism is caused by a genetic disease, which leads to short stature and disproportionate growth of bones. According to the 5000 member American Lilliputian company, which is open to people under 4 feet 10 inches tall, 400 children with severe dwarfism are born each year to normal height parents.

Secondly, dwarfism due to a variety of reasons for the lack of growth hormone secretion caused by physical retardation. The etiology of dwarfism can be attributed to both congenital and acquired factors. Congenital factors mostly affect the growth and development of the fetus due to the deficiency of parents' essence and blood. Most of them are related to heredity. Generally, the development of intelligence is normal, and the patients with dwarfism mainly have abnormal growth of bones, which is also caused by abnormal genes.

Finally, traditional Chinese medicine believes that the occurrence of this disease is related to the deficiency of spleen and kidney, deficiency of Qi and blood, cohesion of water and dampness, deficiency of both yin and Yang. Kidney is the origin of nature, which stores essence, dominates bone, marrow and brain; kidney dominates growth, development and reproduction. Deficiency of kidney essence leads to stagnation of growth and development, which leads to damage of spleen and stomach, deficiency of Qi and blood, loss of nourishment of liver, weakness of muscles and bones, resulting in short stature and dwarfism.
