Short height

2025-07-20 11:21:16
I am 20 years old right now, and I got my periods when I was 8 or 9 years old. My height is very short — I am currently 4 feet 7 inches tall. I think when I was 9 years old, I was around 4 feet 7 inches or 4 feet 5 inches. My question is: am I considered a dwarf? Google says anyone below 4'10" is considered a dwarf. But my hands, legs, and face don't look like a dwarf’s — they look normal and proportionate. One of the reasons for my short height is genetics. My mother is 5 feet tall, my father is 5'1", my grandmother was 4'10", and my cousin sister is 4'9". Most of my family members are short, but none of them are dwarfs. So please tell me — am I considered a dwarf, or am I just a normal petite girl? I am also attaching my picture.

If you are otherwise healthy, eating, working, sleeping, normally then there is nothing to worry. Genetics is a strong influencing factor in determining height. To clear any doubt, you can get growth hormone, thyroid profile and  serum vit d3 and calcium tested. But my advice is, unless a clear deficiency do not go for hormonal treatment. You can consult endocrinologist physically.
