Does the child need to be injected with growth hormone for growth hormone deficiency?

Patient's question:

The child carefully checked and found a lack of growth hormone. Is it necessary to receive growth hormone injections? What kind of help is desired: The child carefully checked and found a lack of growth hormone. Is it necessary to receive growth hormone injections?

Doctor's answer:

First, it is necessary to identify the reason for insufficient growth hormone excretion. Based on the degree of growth hormone deficiency, growth hormone should be administered under medical advice. The liquid form better maintains the original state of growth hormone and is more consistent with the natural spatial structure of growth hormone in the human body. It offers better efficacy and is safer to use. Additionally, the powder form is more prone to tolerance, with a significant increase in efficacy during long-term treatment. With advancements in manufacturing technology, liquid preparations rarely cause tolerance, and in some cases, no tolerance is observed. Long-acting liquid preparations are even further ahead in this regard compared to short-acting liquid preparations.
