Causes of Short Stature in Children
Disease description:
My child is only seven years old, but I've recently noticed that he hasn't grown much in the past two years. I'm quite concerned and would like to know what might cause children to not grow taller.

The reasons why children may not grow tall could include poor nutrition due to picky or selective eating habits in daily life, or genetic factors. Additionally, abnormal hormone secretion or impaired bone development may also lead to stunted growth. Once such a condition occurs, it is recommended to promptly identify and address the underlying cause to prevent adverse effects on height development.
