Constitutional Growth Delay
Constitutional Growth Delay is a condition where a child's growth is slower than average but is not due to any underlying medical issues. Children with this condition typically have a normal growth pattern during early childhood but experience a delay in reaching their full height potential. They often catch up in growth during puberty.
This delay is usually hereditary, meaning it can run in families. While children with Constitutional Growth Delay may be shorter than their peers during childhood, they often reach a normal adult height. Regular check-ups with a pediatrician can help monitor growth and development.
