Dwarfism has obvious symptoms, that is, being relatively short in height. This disease is mostly caused by congenital deformities and has a great impact on children, which can easily make them feel inferior. Parents should pay more attention to their children's physical growth, and intervene in a timely manner only when relevant symptoms appear. However, can dwarfism be detected during pregnancy?
Dwarfism cannot be detected during pregnancy, but after the child is born, it can be judged based on their physical growth. For example, the child may have a flat nose bridge and slow growth and development, with significant differences compared to peers. There may even be no puberty period, and the child's sexual organs are underdeveloped. The proportion of limbs in the body is asymmetrical. Parents can take the child to the hospital for examination to determine whether there is a disease present.
When a child's physical development is delayed and there are some changes in their appearance, parents cannot ignore this situation. They should promptly go to the hospital for a physical examination and pay attention to the child's nutritional balance. After eating complementary foods, they should balance the intake of various nutrients to avoid developmental delay.
Children with dwarfism not only have less hair, but also have soft hair and delicate skin. Although they gradually grow older, their personality remains childlike. After the age of four, the symptoms of dwarfism become more pronounced, and sometimes there may be visual impairments, as well as drowsiness and convulsions.
