What is nanism?
nanism is more often referred to as a dwarf and is a condition in which one experiences unusual growth and has a shorter figure than an average person. This may be due to genetics, but may also occur in people who have parents with an average height. People with a condition are usually not mentally disabled and can learn to live and function comfortably.
The most common symptom of nanism is an adult that grows and never reaches the height comparable to other adults. The person is usually considered a short figure if he is under 4 feet (147 cm). Its limbs may be shorter and more rigid in proportion to the rest of the body.
Nanism can be the result of a inherited gene that causes a person to never reach the average range of height more often. This may also occur if the gene in the sperm cell or eggs changes before the embryo is formed. The gene change occurs randomly and has no reason to change; Therefore, it cannot be prevented. This condition can also be the result of problems that delay developing after birthA child, such as kidney disease, pituitary disorders, or any other disorders that prevent the child's body from taking nutrients from food necessary for growth.
A short figure can contribute to a number of possible health effects; However, most of the effects are not fatal. Children with nanism may be more often to have sleep apnea, in which their breathing temporarily stops when they sleep because of abnormally developed or narrowing the airways. They may also have more difficulty learning to sit down or walk because their spine or joints are not so flexible.
Although nanism cannot be cured, it may be treated surgically if it causes other health complications or discomfort. Many structural shortcomings in the joints can be treated by adding prosthetics tooblastics that help relieve pain and facilitate movement. Maintaining a healthy weight can help reduce stress on joints that are already stiff, so fromPredatory diet can help make those with nanism more comfortable. Since the condition can make it difficult or even dangerous, it is usually recommended to be performed only under the supervision of a doctor.
a person's life usually does not shorten because of the state. Although its size is less than average, it usually does not have a negative impact on mental abilities. People on the condition can also conceive children who eventually grow up to be average.
