What causes growth problems in children

Growth problem is a condition where a child displays stunted growth and is comparatively shorter than the ideal height. While some growth issues displayed at an earlier stage of life rectify themselves in the later stages of puberty, others stay with the children forever leading to shorter height and weaker body conditions.

Growth problems are sometimes genetic if one or both parents have shorter heights. In several other cases, growth problems result from poor nutrition, chronic illness, hormonal disorders, and chromosome abnormalities. 

In addition to the above, here are some other medical conditions that prevent your child from growing at a normal pace.

Delayed puberty

Abnormal functioning of thyroid hormones

Weak skeletal structure

Slow growth right from fetus stage (Intrauterine Growth Restriction)

 What are the symptoms of growth problems in children?

 One of the best ways to detect growth problems in small children is by tracking their height between years 1 and 3. If the child grows no more than 2 inches after their second birthday, then it is a primary indicator of a growth problem. The normal growth in children is when they grow an average of 10 inches in 0-12 months; 5 inches between 1 to 2 years; 3 and a half inches between years 2 and 3. From year three till puberty, a child must grow at an average of 2 inches per year.

Understanding Growth Problems

 You can schedule a check-up with a pediatrician to understand the growth issues your child is facing. Regency Health is a super speciality hospital in Kanpur and Lucknow and houses the best pediatrician in Kanpur and Lucknow where you will be provided with a comprehensive understanding of the issue at hand. In most cases, an x-ray of your child’s hand is taken to understand the bone growth rate. In addition to this blood tests, pituitary gland scans, and general check-ups are taken up to diagnose better.

Lung Disorder And Causes

Our lungs are one of the most critical organs of our body dealing with respiratory functions. These are one of the primary life-sustaining organs in our body and deal with inhalation of oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide. A part of a complex respiratory system, the lungs expand and contract thousands of times in a day. Their proper functioning plays a central role in the optimum functioning of the human body. This is why several lung disorders are linked to other ailments and can turn fatal if not treated on time. 

Lung diseases or pulmonology diseases are one of the most common health hazards today. Globally, they cause millions of deaths every year with each type of lung infection being equally fatal as the next one. This is why proper care and immediate medical attention are extremely critical when it comes to preserving lung health. 

There are several lung disorders each affecting various parts of the respiratory system. While Lung Cancer is the deadliest of lung disorders, some of the other common types of lung infection are:

Asthma- Asthma is one of the most common types of lung disorders that causes inflammation and narrowing down of airways in the lungs. This can lead to wheezing and severe difficulties in breathing.

COPD- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a pulmonology disease where the lungs become inflamed which leads to an excess of mucus causing blockage of various airways in the lungs. It is primarily caused by smoking.

Bronchitis- Bronchial Tubes have the primary duty of crying air to and from the lungs. Due to viral infection, these tubes get inflamed causing difficulty in breathing.

 Emphysema- This is a condition where air sacs of our lungs are damaged and are not able to perform effectively. Air sacs are small organs that absorb oxygen and keep the respiratory system functioning.

Causes of Lung Disorders

Rising pollution levels, poor lifestyle habits, and genetics often cause many lung disorders in humans. In addition to this, constant exposure to chemicals such as arsenic, uranium, radon gas, and asbestos can also lead to lung ailments. Continuous weather changes and extreme cold weather have also been known to be major contributors to several pulmonology diseases.

Heart Failure: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatments

Heart Failure is a condition where the heart stops pumping an adequate amount of blood to the body. Pumping blood that carries oxygen and other nutrients is one of the primary functions of the heart and a discrepancy in this can lead to severe chronic issues. In many cases, the inability of the heart to pump blood can lead to the collection of fluids in the lungs causing shortness of breath.

 Heart Failure Causes

Heart failure is caused by several factors. While some of these are genetic factors, the others are lifestyle based. Cardiomyopathy- the condition where heart muscles are weakened is one of the several heart failure causes. In addition to this, high blood pressure, poor lifestyle & food habits, obesity along with diabetes are other chief causes of heart failure.

Heart Failure Symptoms

In some cases, heart failure can happen out of nowhere and change the course of our lives. However, in a majority of situations, we can track and detect heart failure symptoms quite early. Out of these, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, and irregular heartbeat are some of the key heart failure symptoms. Sudden weight gain and swelling in the feet, ankle, and abdomen are other key indicators of imminent heart failure. It is strongly advised to seek immediate medical help on sighting any of these symptoms.

Heart Failure Treatment

Heart Failure can be classified into several different categories and the treatment for each of these cases varies from the other. For example, heart failure can happen on the right side or the left side. In some unfortunate cases, heart failure can happen on both sides causing severe damage. Hence the treatment is customized as per the causes and the damage caused. 

Medication and lifestyle changes, however, are a common part of treatment in all cases. In some situations, surgical treatment is the only solution while continuous observation and medication are enough in others. Beta Blockers are another common part of heart failure treatment if the patient has high blood pressure. Other treatment modes like a heart transplant, diuretic pills, and devices such as Implantable Defibrillators are also used to treat patients in some cases of heart failure.
