According to Qianjiang Evening News Hourly News, some parents have their children injected with sex-suppressing needles and growth hormone in order to make their children grow taller, costing more than 100,000 yuan a year.

At present, parents' "height anxiety" is intensifying, and the growth and development clinic of the hospital is overcrowded, and even some children with normal height development have joined the team of taking growth hormone.

In this regard, Qianjiang Evening News Hourly News commentators have something to say.

Physical and mental health is more important than height

　　Gao Lu, commentator of this newspaper: Some time ago, the latest research published in the authoritative medical journal "The Lancet" shows that between 1985 and 2019, the average height of 19-year-old Chinese men increased the world's first, increasing by nearly 8 cm to 175.7 cm; the average height of 19-year-old women ranks third in the world, increasing by nearly 6 cm to 163.5 cm.

　　The past 30 years have also been 30 years in which our living standards and nutrition levels have been greatly improved.

In this regard, everyone's starting point is similar, so it is better to be optimistic about the child's future height. Judging from the progress shown by the data, there is a high probability that it will exceed expectations.

　　However, other data are more worrying, such as the high myopia rate among adolescents. On October 26 last year, the Ministry of Education held a press conference, which disclosed that the overall myopia rate of children and adolescents nationwide in 2020 was 52.7%.

　　The rate of myopia is related to the burden of class work and the intrusion of electronic products into life, and the children's life style is relatively monotonous.

Many children will play together in the community in elementary school, but in junior high school and high school, they will stay at home more.

It can be seen that we should focus more on how to cultivate a healthy body.

Can there be fewer children wearing glasses, and can mass sports become more popular?

"Double reduction" liberates children by reducing the burden of class work. Can the time returned to children be used for things other than grades?

　　Compared with the question of height, Chinese parents are far more extensive in cultivating good physique, living habits, and a sense of independence. This is putting the cart before the horse.

Worry about the child growing up

Parents' anxiety is understandable

　　Chen Jiang, commentator of this newspaper: It is reported that parents are crazy just to make their children grow taller.

This madness, in my opinion, has some more understandable reasons than appearance anxiety, body anxiety, grade anxiety...

　　It is said that now is the era of "looking at the face", and a person's appearance is very important.

But you must know that with the help of medical cosmetology, the face can be changed and wrinkles can be removed, but the height is "out of date", and it can no longer be changed when it reaches a certain stage.

　　The more critical factor for parents' anxiety is that height is very important in modern society, whether it is a boy or a girl.

In the growth stage, height affects children's mental health; when they grow up, they have a greater impact on job hunting and mate selection.

Some diplomacy, public security, military, flight attendant and even normal majors have certain height requirements.

In love and marriage, sometimes personal height will play a decisive role.

Women, in particular, have almost paranoid "standards" about the height of boys.

　　Although it is said that "personal charisma" is more important than height, there is no doubt that being taller is more authoritative and gives a better impression.

Therefore, it is necessary to look at height in two parts, and also understand parents' "height anxiety" in two parts.

Be careful when injecting growth hormone

cannot be a means of generating income

　　Xiangrong Xiangrong, commentator of this newspaper: Although growth hormones such as injectable suppressor needles and heightening needles can solve the height problem of children with indications, if they are used non-essentially and non-pathologically, they may cause endocrine disorders to users. Various health risks such as slipped femoral head.

Therefore, after a series of rigorous diagnosis and treatment standards and procedures, doctors need to carry out a series of rigorous testing items before prescribing.

　　Xinhua News Agency once published an article titled "Do you need a "height-increasing needle" for height anxiety?

Danger!

"The article pointed out that there are signs of abuse of growth hormone now, and giving children sex-inhibiting injections, "higher injections", and abuse of growth hormone have become income-generating means for some private hospitals and private clinics.

They use irregular means to lure parents to give their children growth hormone.

　　Both are biological products. Vaccines and blood products have also experienced a savage growth stage. After operating chaos and frequent major safety incidents, they have attracted the attention of all parties. Management measures have been introduced one after another, and both have been included in the "Administrative Measures for the Batch Release of Biological Products". .

　　As a parent, you should be cautious about injecting growth hormone, and you must take your child to a regular hospital and make a decision after a regular inspection process.
