Xiao Wu, a 21 year old soldier in Jiangdu, has always been a dream of a soldier. But because of his height difference of 2 centimeters, he missed his dream.

The doctor told him that if he had been treated earlier, he would have been able to grow taller.

Recently, Xiao Wu told reporters about his own experience.

According to Xiao Wu, he especially worshipped the PLA during his childhood.

At the end of last year, Xiao Wu decided to apply.

In the physical examination, Xiao Wu, the more than 10 project, was stronger than others, but finally he was stuck on his height.

The minimum height standard for conscription is 162 centimeters, and Xiao Wu is only 160 centimeters tall.

The difference is 2 centimeters, do you have to give up the dream of being a soldier?

Xiao Wu went to Subei hospital for help.

But after a thorough examination, the doctor told Xiao Wu that he was late because his epiphysis had been completely closed and his height had been basically fixed.

"Finally finding the right place, there is no chance."

The doctor's words made Xiao Wu very depressed.

This is not the first time Xiao Wu has sought the way to grow taller.

He had worn 4 pairs of heightened shoes before he grew taller.

Little Wu Yue, he was shorter than his age, but his parents didn't care much because his father was 170 centimeters tall. He was not short in his peers. His elders thought he was only "late".

When he graduated from junior high school, he was less than 130 centimeters tall.

Parents were anxious.

At that time, a lot of higher products claimed that they could help grow taller, so many parents bought him 4 pairs of shoes.

After graduating from high school, Xiao Wu's height was fixed at 160 centimeters. He failed to enter an ideal university, and his height became an obstacle to finding a job. "Many employers saw me short and asked a question without saying" No. "

Dr. Tao Yuehong, a specialist in the treatment of short stature in Subei hospital, told reporters that in the case of Xiao Wu, at least 3 misunderstandings could be found.

Misunderstandings: parents are high, children must be short.

In fact, apart from heredity, the postnatal factor is also important.

Misunderstanding two: abuse of increased products.

It is understood that a lot of increased products contain hormones, which may lead to premature closure of epiphysis, anti adverse increase.

Myth three: think children are "late".

In fact, unless there is a family history of pubertal growth retardation, if the child is 5 centimeters lower than the average child, it should be considered short.

If early detection and early treatment, Xiao Wu is tall and full of hope.
