Growth Clinic in Indore — Short Height Treatment

इंदौर में बच्चों का ग्रोथ क्लिनिक

36% of Indian children have stunted growth — but not all short children have a medical problem. Dr. Abhyudaya Verma's Growth Clinic in Indore provides comprehensive evaluation to distinguish normal short stature from Growth Hormone deficiency, thyroid problems, and other treatable causes. Early evaluation (ideally before age 10-12) is critical — because once bone growth plates close, height cannot be increased.

⚠️ Act Early — Growth Plates Close at Puberty

The window for effective growth treatment is before the growth plates close — typically 14-15 in girls and 16-17 in boys. Don't wait. If your child is significantly shorter than peers, consult Dr. Verma's Growth Clinic today. समय पर जांच जरूरी है — ग्रोथ प्लेट बंद होने से पहले।

When Should You Bring Your Child?

Growth Clinic Evaluation

ग्रोथ क्लिनिक में जांच

📏
Growth Chart Assessment
ऊंचाई का आकलन
Plot current height, weight and growth velocity on WHO/IAP growth charts. Calculate mid-parental height (genetic potential). Compare with peers and norms.
🦴
Bone Age X-ray
हड्डी की उम्र का X-ray
Left wrist X-ray (Greulich and Pyle method). Compares bone age to chronological age — key to predicting final height potential and treatment urgency.
🔬
IGF-1 & IGFBP-3
IGF-1 टेस्ट
Blood test reflecting Growth Hormone activity. Low IGF-1 suggests GH deficiency. Screening test before formal GH stimulation testing.
💉
GH Stimulation Test
ग्रोथ हार्मोन उत्तेजना परीक्षण
Gold standard test for GH deficiency. Arginine or clonidine stimulation with serial GH measurements. Performed at the clinic — confirms or rules out GH deficiency.
🦋
Thyroid Function
थायरॉइड जांच
Hypothyroidism is a common and treatable cause of short stature. TSH, T3, T4. Simple correction of hypothyroidism often results in dramatic catch-up growth.
🧬
Genetic & Chromosomal Tests
जेनेटिक जांच
Karyotype for Turner syndrome (girls), other chromosomal analysis when indicated. MRI pituitary if GH deficiency confirmed to look for structural causes.

Treatment Options

इलाज के विकल्प

1
Growth Hormone Therapy (for GHD)
Daily subcutaneous GH injections for confirmed Growth Hormone Deficiency. Children typically gain 8-12 cm in the first year. Safe and well-tolerated. Continued until growth plates close.
2
Thyroid Correction
If hypothyroidism is the cause — levothyroxine therapy results in excellent catch-up growth. Often dramatic response within 6-12 months of treatment.
3
Nutritional Optimisation
Protein, Vitamin D, zinc, iron and calcium optimisation. Many children are nutritionally deficient and respond to targeted supplementation with improved growth velocity.
4
Constitutional Growth Delay Management
Most common variant of normal — children are just late bloomers. Detailed counselling, bone age monitoring, and supportive care. Most reach normal adult height eventually.

Frequently Asked Questions

At what age should I bring my child for short height evaluation?बच्चे की छोटी कद की जांच कब करानी चाहिए?

+

Ideally as early as possible — the window for treatment is before puberty ends. Practically, if your child is below the 3rd percentile for height, growing less than 5 cm per year after age 3, significantly shorter than classmates, or has delayed puberty along with short stature — bring them for evaluation immediately. Dr. Verma recommends evaluation by age 8-10 for maximum treatment benefit.

जितनी जल्दी हो सके — आदर्शतः 8-10 वर्ष की आयु से पहले। ग्रोथ प्लेट बंद होने से पहले इलाज जरूरी।

What is a GH Stimulation Test?GH स्टिमुलेशन टेस्ट क्या है?

+

The GH Stimulation Test is the gold standard for diagnosing Growth Hormone Deficiency. A stimulating agent (arginine, clonidine, or glucagon) is given to the child, and blood samples are taken at intervals to measure GH response. A peak GH below 10 ng/mL confirms GH deficiency. The test takes 2-3 hours and is performed at Dr. Verma's clinic.

GH स्टिमुलेशन टेस्ट ग्रोथ हार्मोन की कमी का पक्का पता लगाता है — 2-3 घंटे का टेस्ट।

How much height can Growth Hormone therapy add?ग्रोथ हार्मोन से कितनी लंबाई बढ़ती है?

+

Children with confirmed GH deficiency typically gain 8-12 cm in the first year of therapy, with gradual improvement continuing. Total height gain depends on bone age at start and duration of treatment — typically 15-25 cm over the full treatment course. Early treatment (younger bone age) gives better results.

GH से पहले साल 8-12 cm लंबाई बढ़ती है। जल्दी इलाज से ज्यादा फायदा।

Can short height in children be treated without hormones?क्या बिना हार्मोन के बच्चे की लंबाई बढ़ सकती है?

+

Yes, in many cases. If the cause is hypothyroidism — thyroid treatment alone results in dramatic catch-up growth. If the cause is constitutional growth delay — monitoring, nutrition optimisation and waiting for spontaneous puberty is sufficient. Growth Hormone is only needed when GH deficiency is confirmed on stimulation testing.

हाइपोथायरॉइड से छोटा कद हो तो सिर्फ थायरॉइड की दवा से बढ़ोतरी होती है।
