Patient's question:
I took high-dose height-increasing medicine a few days ago. It is said that in the first three days of taking the medicine, the joints may have reactions such as aching, numbness, and swelling, and a large amount of white membrane (white granular particles) will be excreted from the body within 3 days, and bowel movements will increase. Except for not excreting the white membrane, I have experienced all the other reactions. The doctor told me that my condition was very serious! He said this activates bone marrow cells, and the white membrane must be excreted. Then he said he would help me find the section chief, saying that the cost would definitely be high, but for my health... He said the knees might turn red or black, and it would be very painful inside. If it's severe, it might require amputation. I'm very scared.Is this true?
Previous treatment history and effectiveness:
I only took this height-increasing medicine.
What kind of help do you hope to receive:
I hope to know if this is true or if it's a scam.
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, I can tell you for sure that height-increasing pills are ineffective. Most medications are hormones, and they have significant side effects. It is recommended to take them with caution.It is advised that you first visit a hospital to have an epiphyseal plate examination. If it has not fused, you can consider taking growth hormone under anesthesia, which is currently the most effective method for increasing height. If the epiphyseal plate has already fused, then any method to increase height will be ineffective. In terms of diet, it is recommended to consume more foods rich in calcium or those that enhance calcium absorption.
