Understanding Dwarfism: The Best Approach to Dwarfism

By DR. JEO COOPER

There are a lot of misconceptions about dwarfism, and many people don't understand what it is or what it entails. Dwarfism is a disorder that affects the growth and development of the bones and muscle tissue in the body. It can range in severity and affect people of all ages. Some factors, including genetic heritage and environmental factors cause dwarfism. No one disease or condition is known explicitly as dwarfism. However, dwarfism is often related to other disorders, such as short stature and skeletal dysplasia. Dwarfism can also be a feature of specific genetic syndromes. There is no one way to be a dwarf and no definition of what qualifies as a dwarf. Generally, people identified as dwarves tend to have a height below the average for their sex and age group. While there is no definition of a dwarf, most experts consider a person to be a dwarf if they have a height below 4 feet 10 inches (1.47 meters) and weight below 110 pounds (50 kilograms). Some people identified as dwarves may have a greater size than average, but they would still be considered dwarves under the general definition. There is no cure or treatment for dwarfism, and there is no guarantee that a person will experience the same level of success in managing it. However, several things can be done to help people with dwarfism lead as usual a life as possible. Access to quality medical care, including special care and treatments for dwarfism, is essential for people with the disorder. Dwarfism is not a condition that is easily hidden, and it can often be a source of embarrassment for those who have it. However, there is no reason to feel ashamed or embarrassed about dwarfism. Several things can be done to help people with dwarfism feel proud of their unique identity.
