What is Short Stature & Growth Delay?

Short Stature refers to a child whose height is significantly below the average for their age and gender. Growth delays occur when a child isn’t growing at the expected rate. These issues can be caused by hormonal imbalances such as growth hormone deficiency, hypothyroidism, or other metabolic disorders. In some cases, delayed growth may be familial or constitutional, meaning the child may experience a late but normal growth spurt.
