Homeopathy treatment for Dwarfism
Dwarfism is short stature that results from a genetic or medical condition. Dwarfism is generally defined as an adult height of 4 feet 10 inches (147 centimeters) or less.
OVERVIEW
Dwarfism (or conditions of short stature) refers to a group of conditions characterised by shorter than normal skeletal growth. This shortness can be manifested in the arms and legs or trunk.
The term “short stature” is often preferred over “dwarfism” or “dwarf.”
The term “little person” or “little people” is often used, too.
One of the largest advocacy groups for people with dwarfism is the Little People of America (LPA).
Dwarfism has many different causes. Several of the causes of dwarfism can lead to other health problems, such as osteoarthritis.
CAUSES
Researchers believe there are more than 300 conditions that cause dwarfism. Most causes are genetic.
The most common causes include:
Achondroplasia:
- Though achondroplasia is a genetic condition, four out of five people who have it also have two parents who average size.
- If you have achondroplasia, you have one mutated gene associated with the condition and one unaffected version of that gene. This is the most common cause of dwarfism.
Turner syndrome:
- This condition affects only females.
- Instead of inheriting two fully functioning X chromosomes from your parents, you inherit one X chromosome and are missing a second, or at least part of a second, X chromosome.
- Males, by comparison, have an X chromosome and a Y chromosome.
Growth hormone deficiency:
- The reasons for growth hormone deficiency aren’t always clear.
- Sometimes it’s tie to a genetic mutation.
- In many cases, the reasons for growth hormone deficiency never diagnose.
Hypothyroidism:
- An underactive thyroid, especially if it develops at a young age, can lead to many health problems, including limited growth.
- Other complications include low energy, cognitive problems, and puffy facial features.
- A newborn’s thyroid health should check as a matter of routine screenings.
- If your baby didn’t have their thyroid checked, discuss it with your pediatrician.
Intrauterine growth retardation:
- This condition develops while the baby is still in the mother’s womb.
- The pregnancy may go to full term, but the baby is usually much smaller than average.
- The result is typically proportional dwarfism.
Genetics and other risk factors:
Dwarfism is usually the result of a genetic mutation.
- But having a gene or genes responsible for dwarfism can occur in a couple of ways.
- In some cases, it can happen spontaneously.
- You may not born with mutated genes inherited from a parent.
- One is recessive, which means you inherit two mutated genes (one from each parent) to have the condition.
- The other is dominant. You only need one mutated gene from either parent to have the disorder.
- Serious malnutrition, which leads to weak bones and muscles, can also overcome in many cases with a healthy, more nutrient-rich diet.
Dwarfism is usually the result of a genetic mutation. But having a gene or genes responsible for dwarfism can occur in a couple of ways.
In some cases, it can happen spontaneously. You may not be born with mutated genes inherited from a parent. Instead, a mutation of your genes happens on its own — usually without a cause doctors can discover.
Inherited genetic disorders can take two forms. One is recessive, which means you inherit two mutated genes (one from each parent) to have the condition. The other is dominant. You only need one mutated gene — from either parent — to have the disorder.
Other risk factors for dwarfism include a hormone deficiency or malnutrition. There usually aren’t any risk factors for a hormone deficiency, but it can often be successfully treated. Serious malnutrition, which leads to weak bones and muscles, can also be overcome in many cases with a healthy, more nutrient-rich diet.
TYPES
Though there are many different causes of dwarfism, there are two main types of the condition: proportionate and disproportionate.
Proportionate dwarfism
When the head, trunk, and limbs are all proportionate to each other, but much smaller than those of an average-sized person, the condition is known as proportionate dwarfism.
This type of dwarfism is often the result of a hormone deficiency. It can often be treated with hormone injections while a child is still growing. As a result, someone born with proportionate dwarfism may be able to reach an average height or get close to it.
Disproportionate dwarfism
This is the most common kind of dwarfism. As the name suggests, it’s characterized by having body parts that are disproportionate to each other. For example, a genetic condition called achondroplasia
results in arms and legs that are significantly shorter than those of a person of average size, but the trunk is like that of someone unaffected by dwarfism. In some cases, the head of a person with disproportionate dwarfism may be slightly larger than that of a person without dwarfism.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
Diet for Dwarfism:
- Protein-rich foods – Eggs, fish, lean meats, dairy, lentils, and nuts for growth and muscle development.
- Calcium & Vitamin D – Milk, cheese, yogurt, leafy greens, and fortified cereals for strong bones.
- Zinc-rich foods – Pumpkin seeds, beans, and cashews to support growth.
- Healthy fats – Avocados, olive oil, and nuts for overall development.
- Iron sources – Spinach, red meat, and legumes to prevent deficiencies.
- Fruits & vegetables – Provide essential vitamins and antioxidants for immunity.
- Whole grains – Brown rice, oats, and whole wheat for sustained energy.
- Hydration – Drink plenty of water and fresh juices for overall health.
- Limit processed foods – Avoid excess sugar and junk food that hinder growth.
