    Treatment of Short Stature in Children

    By Dr. Bhawna Attri

    Every child’s growth journey is unique. While some children grow steadily, others may show slower height gain compared to their peers. Parents often worry if their child is shorter than average — and rightly so, because short stature can sometimes be a sign of an underlying health issue. As an endocrinologist, I believe that early evaluation and timely treatment can make a significant difference in a child’s growth and confidence. At Moolchand’s Endocrine Centre, our philosophy is rooted in a blend of superb physicians, cutting-edge technology, compassionate care, integrity, and affordable prices. We don’t just treat medical conditions — we walk alongside families to ensure children live healthier, fuller, and more confident lives. Understanding Short Stature Short stature is when a child’s height is well below the expected range for their age and gender. This is not just a cosmetic concern — it can sometimes reflect nutritional, hormonal, or chronic medical conditions. It may be: Genetic (Familial): Naturally shorter parents often have shorter children. Constitutional: Some children grow late but eventually catch up with peers. Medical Causes: Hormonal problems, nutritional deficiencies, or chronic illnesses that restrict growth. What matters most is identifying which category your child falls into — and doing so at the right time. Causes to Look Out For Nutritional gaps – poor diet or deficiencies in proteins, vitamins, or minerals. Hormonal disorders – especially growth hormone deficiency or thyroid problems. Chronic diseases – like kidney conditions, intestinal disorders, or congenital heart problems. Bone disorders – such as rickets or skeletal dysplasia. Psychosocial factors – emotional stress, neglect, or lack of a supportive environment. Each of these can impact growth in different ways, which is why a comprehensive evaluation is essential. How We Diagnose At Moolchand, we follow a structured, evidence-based diagnostic pathway: Growth chart assessment: Regular plotting to compare a child’s growth trajectory with standard benchmarks. Bone age X-rays: To check growth potential and whether bones are developing appropriately. Blood tests: Evaluating thyroid hormones, growth hormone levels, and other markers. Screening for chronic diseases: Kidney function, celiac disease, or gastrointestinal issues. Family history analysis: To understand whether short stature runs in the family. With cutting-edge technology in diagnostics, combined with our expertise, we ensure that no underlying cause goes unnoticed. Treatment Options Treatment is always individualized — not every child requires medicines or injections. Here are the main options: Nutritional correction: A balanced, protein-rich diet with adequate vitamins and minerals can sometimes make a remarkable difference. Treatment of underlying medical conditions: Correcting thyroid disease, celiac disease, or kidney problems can restore normal growth. Growth Hormone Therapy (GH Therapy): For children diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency or other medical indications. With careful monitoring, this therapy can significantly improve height outcomes. Puberty-related treatments: In cases of delayed puberty, hormonal therapies may be recommended to trigger growth and development. Lifestyle interventions: Regular exercise, adequate sleep, stress-free environment, and emotional support are crucial pillars of growth. This treatment approach reflects our integrity — we recommend only what is medically necessary, never pushing parents toward unnecessary or costly interventions. Myths and Facts  Myth 1: Every short child needs hormone injections. Fact: Many children only need nutrition, reassurance, and regular monitoring.  Myth 2: Short stature is untreatable. Fact: With timely evaluation and the right interventions, many children achieve their growth potential.  Myth 3: Delaying treatment does not matter. Fact: Growth plates fuse after puberty — delay can mean losing the window of opportunity permanently. Why Early Action Matters Timely diagnosis is the key. Delays in identifying growth problems can lead to a permanently shorter final height. Growth plates fuse after puberty, leaving little to no room for medical intervention. By acting early, we give children the best chance to: Reach their full genetic growth potential. Avoid social and emotional challenges linked with being shorter than peers. Improve long-term health outcomes. This is where compassionate care makes all the difference. We don’t just treat children; we support families through education, counseling, and reassurance. A Patient’s Journey – A Case Study Consider the story of Aarav (name changed), a 10-year-old boy who came to us at Moolchand. His parents were concerned because he was the shortest in his class. After evaluation, we found mild growth hormone deficiency and vitamin D deficiency. With growth hormone therapy, nutritional support, and regular monitoring, Aarav gained 12 cm in height within two years. More importantly, his confidence soared. This real-life story underlines how early and accurate intervention transforms not only physical health but also emotional well-being. The Moolchand Advantage At Moolchand’s Endocrine Centre, families trust us because of our core values: Superb physicians – Our team, led by specialists like Dr. Bhawna Attri, brings world-class expertise and AIIMS-level training to every consultation. Cutting-edge technology – From bone age scans to advanced hormonal assays, we use state-of-the-art tools to guide treatment. Compassionate care – Every child is treated with kindness, dignity, and patience. Integrity – We recommend only what is right for the child, never unnecessary treatments. Affordable prices – High-quality care does not have to be out of reach. At Moolchand, we believe in affordable excellence. Final Word Short stature should never be ignored or brushed aside as “genetic fate.” With the right diagnosis and treatment, we can help children reach their true growth potential and live confident, healthy lives. At Moolchand’s Endocrine Centre, our commitment goes beyond medical science. We combine advanced diagnostics, evidence-based therapies, compassionate care, and integrity-driven guidance — all at affordable prices — so every family can access the best possible treatment. Because at Moolchand, we don’t just treat conditions — we nurture futures.Dr. Bhawna Attri Eminent Endocrinologist, Trained at AIIMS New Delhi Moolchand Hospital

    Mounjaro & Ozempic: Myths vs Facts About GLP-1 Therapy — Expert Guidance from Dr. Bhawna Attri

    By Dr. Bhawna Attri

    Over the past few years, GLP-1 receptor agonists such as Mounjaro (tirzepatide) and Ozempic (semaglutide) have transformed the way doctors treat type 2 diabetes and manage obesity. These medications have been hailed as “game changers,” not only because they help regulate blood sugar but also because they have shown impressive benefits in weight reduction and cardiovascular protection. But with this popularity has come a flood of myths, misconceptions, and half-truths. Patients often come to consultations with questions shaped more by what they’ve read on social media than by medical science. Some think these medications are miracle weight loss injections. Others believe they are safe for everyone, or that once you achieve weight loss, you can stop them without consequences. At Moolchand, we believe in giving patients clear, accurate, and compassionate guidance. Under the leadership of Dr. Bhawna Attri, Eminent Endocrinologist trained at the prestigious AIIMS New Delhi, our approach is built on five values that patients can always count on: Superb endocrinologists, Cutting-edge technology, Compassionate care, Integrity, and Affordable prices. With this foundation, let us separate the myths from the facts about GLP-1 therapies so that you can make informed decisions about your health. What Are GLP-1 Receptor Agonists? GLP-1 stands for glucagon-like peptide-1, a naturally occurring hormone in the body. This hormone helps regulate blood sugar by increasing insulin secretion when glucose levels rise, slowing stomach emptying, and reducing appetite. GLP-1 receptor agonists are medications designed to mimic this hormone, giving patients more effective blood sugar control while also contributing to weight loss. Medications such as Ozempic and Mounjaro fall into this class. While Ozempic primarily targets the GLP-1 pathway, Mounjaro has dual activity (GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist), which may explain its additional benefits in weight management. These medicines are usually given as weekly injections and have shown excellent outcomes in lowering blood sugar levels, reducing the risk of cardiovascular events, and helping patients achieve significant weight reduction. Importantly, they can also be prescribed to non-diabetic patients who struggle with obesity or metabolic health issues, under the careful supervision of an endocrinologist like Dr. Bhawna Attri. Myth vs Fact: GLP-1 Based Therapies  Myth 1: These are just “weight loss injections.”  Fact: GLP-1 receptor agonists were originally designed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, with blood sugar control as their primary goal. Weight loss is a very welcome side effect, but it is not the only or even the main reason they are prescribed.  Myth 2: Anyone can take these medicines safely.  Fact: These therapies require careful patient selection. They are not suitable for everyone. People with certain medical histories — such as a family or personal history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or past episodes of pancreatitis — may not be candidates. Only an expert like Dr. Bhawna Attri can decide if you are an appropriate candidate.  Myth 3: You can stop once you’ve lost weight or feel better.  Fact: Like most long-term therapies for chronic conditions, GLP-1 medications are often required for extended use. Stopping suddenly, without a proper plan, can cause rebound weight gain or worsening blood sugar control.  Myth 4: Medication replaces lifestyle changes.  Fact: GLP-1 therapies are not shortcuts. They are most effective when paired with healthy eating, physical activity, sleep hygiene, and behavioral support. Why Expert Guidance Matters GLP-1 therapies are powerful but not one-size-fits-all. Just as every patient is unique, the way these medicines are prescribed, monitored, and adjusted must also be personalized. At Moolchand, Dr. Bhawna Attri, an eminent endocrinologist trained from AIIMS New Delhi, carefully evaluates your medical history, lifestyle, and health goals before recommending GLP-1 therapy. Using cutting-edge technology, including advanced diagnostics and digital patient monitoring, she and her team tailor the treatment to your specific needs. Here’s what expert endocrinologist guidance ensures: Proper Screening: Identifying whether you are a safe candidate for GLP-1 therapy. Personalized Dosing: Adjusting the dosage to maximize benefits while minimizing side effects. Side Effect Monitoring: Keeping track of common effects like nausea or constipation, and managing them effectively. Integrated Care: Aligning your therapy with nutrition, exercise, and mental wellbeing. Sustainability: Helping you achieve results that last, rather than short-term gains. Above all, you can trust that at Moolchand, your care is guided by integrity — meaning we will never recommend a therapy unless it is truly right for you. And with our commitment to affordable prices, world-class care remains accessible. Patient-Centered Care at Moolchand What sets Moolchand apart is not only our expertise but also the way we deliver care. We believe in compassionate care — listening to patients, respecting their concerns, and supporting them at every step of the journey. A patient considering Mounjaro or Ozempic at Moolchand will not only meet with Dr. Bhawna Attri but will also receive counseling from nutritionists, support from nurses, and guidance on lifestyle changes. We work as a team to ensure your therapy is safe, effective, and sustainable. Our patients often tell us that the difference lies in how we treat them — not just with medicines, but with empathy, patience, and honesty. This is where our superb endocrinologists truly shine, combining world-class knowledge with a human touch. Looking Ahead: The Future of GLP-1 Therapy Research on GLP-1 receptor agonists continues to grow. Recent studies suggest benefits beyond diabetes and weight management, including potential roles in heart disease prevention, fatty liver disease, and even neurological conditions. For now, what matters most is that patients understand both the opportunities and the limitations of these therapies. They are not fads or quick fixes; they are part of a broader medical strategy to manage chronic disease and improve quality of life. At Moolchand, under the guidance of Dr. Bhawna Attri, we ensure patients have access to the latest treatments, supported by science, compassion, and trust. Final Word GLP-1 therapies such as Mounjaro and Ozempic are changing lives. But like any powerful medical treatment, they come with responsibilities — to use them wisely, under expert guidance, and as part of a holistic approach to health. At Moolchand, we make this journey safe and effective through our values: Superb endocrinologists, Cutting-edge technology, Compassionate care, Integrity, and Affordable prices. These aren’t just words — they are the pillars of the trust generations of patients have placed in us. If you’re considering GLP-1 therapy, consult with Dr. Bhawna Attri, Eminent Endocrinologist trained from AIIMS New Delhi, at Moolchand. Let her guide you toward sustainable, science-based, and compassionate care for your long-term health.
