How to Prevent Short Stature
Short stature cannot be prevented in children who have a familial short stature or those who have a chronic disease. However, in some cases, you can minimize your child's risk of developing short stature by making sure the child eats a nutritious diet.
Parents can minimize the risk of short stature in their children by eating a nutritious diet during pregnancy and avoiding nonprescription drugs and unsafe sex.
Complications to the condition can be prevented and/or treated if identified early with prenatal testing.
