Chongqing, China (Xinhua News Agency reporter Chen Yu, intern Liu Zhourhai) Wang Yue (a pseudonym), a 13-year-old boy, is only 1.01 meters tall. In order not to be ridiculed by others, Wang Yue has been lying that he is only 5 years old. Yesterday, accompanied by his mother, Wang Yue went to the Children's Hospital, hoping to realize his dream of growing taller through treatment.
"The child's whole life can't be ruined like this!" Yesterday at the endocrinology department of the Children's Hospital, Wang Yue's mother Yuan Zhenqin told reporters that they are from Yongxing Town, Jiangjin rural area. Both she and her husband are over 1.6 meters tall, but their son is very short. Wang Yue was only about 80 centimeters tall when he was 6 years old. Now he is 13 years old and only 1 meter tall. Every time someone asks Wang Yue's age, he always asks his mother to conceal his real age and say that he is only 5 years old in order to avoid being ridiculed by others.
" The child is becoming more and more introverted, often hiding aside daydreaming, not playing with other children." Yuan Zhenqin worriedly said: "My son is about to enter the first year of junior high school, but because of his short stature, I am worried that the school will not accept him. I hope that through treatment my son will be able to grow over 1.6 meters tall."
After examination by Professor Lei Peiyun of the Endocrinology Department of the Children's Hospital, it was found that the cause of Wang Yue's condition is the complete lack of growth hormone in his body. In order to grow taller, he can only persist in supplementing growth hormone. Wang Yue should have the hope of growing over 1.6 meters tall.
