How should partial growth hormone deficiency be treated?

Patient's question:

How should partial growth hormone deficiency be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Hello, how is the bone age of the child? Is the pituitary MRI normal? In fact, many children with partial growth hormone deficiency, especially those in younger age groups, do not necessarily need to start taking growth hormone. It is important to identify the cause of the short stature. Many children have poor appetite or digestive and absorption problems in the stomach and spleen.
Suggestions: You can target the underlying causes of short stature for regulation. This approach can reduce costs while avoiding the side effects of growth hormone.
