Should people with dwarfism continue to take growth hormone?

Patient's question:

On the 7th, after examination, testosterone levels reached 167.01. During the sex hormone stimulation test, luteinizing hormone reached 33.70 at 60 minutes. Height was 142.8 cm, and weight was 30 kg; on May 11th, height was 146.2 cm, and weight was 31 kg. During hormone treatment, there were several instances of breast lumps.

Doctor's answer:

Men between the ages of 20 and 24, and women between 19 and 23, have completed the ossification of their long bones and vertebrae, and their height stops growing. To increase height, one must eat well and sleep well (both height and muscle growth occur at night), and also engage in appropriate exercise. Pinching the spine or cupping can unblock meridians, promote blood circulation and metabolism, and have a certain effect on height increase. However, pinching the spine or cupping needs to be done for about a month to possibly see results, but it is not effective for everyone.
