Can brain retardation be cured?

Brain retardation can be treated, but in many cases treatment is an intervention measure to help promote brain development. Especially for people with intellectual disabilities, they should be more vigilant about nutritional supplements and pay attention to treating the primary disease.

1. First, through medical history, physical and laboratory examination

Based on detailed information and test results, a comprehensive analysis is conducted to determine the cause of children's dwarfism and finally determine the treatment principles. Different causes require different treatments:

1. Malnutrition: You should have a reasonable nutrition, a comprehensive and balanced diet, cultivate good eating habits, and promote appetite.

2. Dwarfism caused by systemic diseases: the primary disease should be treated actively.

3. Familial dwarfism and constitutional growth retardation: Through various conditioning measures, the growth potential can be fully developed, and growth hormone can be used as appropriate.

2. Zinc supplementation for developmental delay

Zinc is an essential trace element for the human body and it is the "flower of life" of the human body. The main functions of zinc include:

1. As a component or enzyme activator of more than 80 metalloenzymes. Among them, the more important ones are erythrocyte carbonic anhydrase, carboxypeptidase, alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase and neutral protease. Zinc deficiency can affect the activity of various decomposition enzymes;

2. Participate in the transcription of RNA, DNA and the synthesis of protein. Zinc deficiency leads to reduced synthesis of growth hormone and sex hormone, impaired nucleic acid and protein synthesis, and has a significant impact on sexual development.
