Patient's question:
Can the use of growth hormone help children grow taller? Are there clear boundaries? What kind of help matters: Can the use of growth hormone help children grow taller? Are there clear boundaries?Doctor's answer:
There needs to be a sound for all parents: Please do not fall into the misconception that "using growth hormone to treat children will make them grow taller quickly." In reality, this idea is unrealistic and does not align with the laws of natural science.First, from the perspective of children's growth and development, height increase is a relatively slow process, and it is impossible for medication to produce immediate, "miraculous" effects afterward.
Second, regarding the clinical diagnostic criteria for the effectiveness of growth hormone treatment in children with short stature, it is defined as effective if the annual growth rate of the child increases by more than 2 centimeters compared to before treatment.
