Short stature is detected in diseases such as chronic liver disease, chronic kidney failure, chronic heart disease, chronic bowel diseases and rheumatic diseases, and asthma that cause long-term use of cortisone.
What are the Factors that Prevent Height Growth?
Chronic diseases negatively affect height increase in adolescence and childhood. Short stature is detected in diseases such as chronic liver disease, chronic kidney failure, chronic heart disease, chronic bowel diseases and rheumatic diseases, and asthma that cause long-term use of cortisone. In these patients, the children's stature remains short, both because the release of growth hormone is negatively affected and because of the late puberty.
The decrease in height increase is seen shortly after the onset of the disease. Therefore, the degree of effect on growth is directly proportional to the duration of the disease. In some cases, cortisone-type drugs used in the treatment of the disease may cause short stature as much as the effect of the disease itself, or even more so. the extent to which the child will catch up with growth during puberty; The course and duration of the disease depend on many factors such as the age of onset, the potential growth time remaining after recovery, and whether the recovery is complete or not.
It is a well-known fact that kindergarten children are shorter than their peers, and sufficient growth cannot be achieved in these children since the release of growth hormone is impaired.
Another issue that bothers families is whether there is a relationship between psychological state and height growth. Can such a relationship be mentioned?
There is a very clear relationship between height increase in adolescence and psychological state. Severe psychological problems negatively affect the release of hormones. In cases such as the loss of a mother or father, leaving home, and severe exam stress, insufficiency of release of hormones that initiate puberty and growth hormone occurs. This causes short stature and late entry into puberty.
In this case, do loveless and uninterested children stay shorter?
I would like to talk about a very good research result about children raised in nests. Peers of height in kindergarten children It is a well-known fact that n is short, and adequate growth cannot be achieved in these children because the release of growth hormone is impaired. When these children were given to a parent as a child, their height increased and they caught up with their peers. The environment of love and the elimination of stress have positively affected the secretion of hormones, resulting in the normalization of height increase.
