Hi, Thanks for asking.
If such a patient comes in my office I would like the growth hormones level done and IGF levels also. I would like you to consult an endocrinologist for further assessment. He would rule out multiple endocrinological anomalies. If required he may prescribe growth hormones for her.
She will also benefit from psychological counselling for the body image issues. So that she will accept her body without being embarrassed about it
I hope I have helped you.
Thank you.
