Expert in Treatment for Short stature

Depending on the type of growth disorder, different things can cause it. Some problems with growth are caused by genes, while others may be caused by hormonal problems or not being able to absorb food well.

Most growth problems can be traced back to

Endocrine (hormone) diseases:
Lack of thyroid hormones—for normal bone growth, the thyroid hormone must be made in the right amount.

Cushing's syndrome — Cushing's syndrome can be caused by a number of problems that arise when the adrenal gland makes too many corticosteroids.

Growth hormone deficiency: The pituitary gland, a small gland at the base of the brain that makes hormones like growth hormone, is not working right.
