summary

In daily life, occasionally see a lot of short people, compared with the height of normal people, these people may be very obvious difference in height. Dwarfism is one of the most common diseases. So, for this serious disease, what is the cause of dwarfism? I'd like to share my views with you.

What causes dwarfism?

First, there are actually some patients with dwarfism, which has a certain relationship with personal physique. Because their own constitution is not very good, it is easy to lead to dwarfism after birth. For example, primordial dwarfism may also be due to puberty retardation and other diseases. There are also some patients with dwarfism in infancy, basically because of endocrine reasons. Because all kinds of diseases that cause the regression of thyroid function, such as hypopituitarism, primary true precocious puberty, pseudohypoparathyroidism, gonadal development disorders, these diseases are easy to lead to dwarfism.

Second, there are even some patients with nutritional and metabolic diseases, such as rickets, malabsorption syndrome, vitamin D-resistant rickets, chronic severe malnutrition, diabetes, parasitic diseases, etc., which are easy to cause dwarfism in infants. Bone system diseases, such as cartilage dystrophy, mucopolysaccharidosis, congenital osteogenesis imperfecta, spinal tuberculosis, etc. It may also be blood circulation disorder and long-term hypoxia, such as congenital heart disease, extensive chronic lung disease, etc. There are also some unexplained diseases, such as presenility. According to statistics at home and abroad, there are no less than 50-60 kinds of diseases that can cause significant short stature, and more than 40 kinds of medical syndromes can cause growth retardation and height deficiency.

Third, 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 congenital, which stores essence, controls bone, generates marrow and connects with brain; Kidney governs growth, development and reproduction. Deficiency of kidney essence leads to stagnation of growth and development. Due to congenital deficiency, spleen and stomach are damaged, Qi and blood are deficient, liver is out of support, muscles and bones are flaccid, resulting in short stature and dwarfism.

matters needing attention

All diseases are painful to the patients. Therefore, we normal people can't discriminate against and laugh at the patients who have been diagnosed with dwarfism. This will bring them psychological pain and negative effects beyond the disease. We should understand them with an equal and kind heart and help them.
