Children taking growth hormone to grow any taller?


In many parts of the phenomenon of abuse of growth hormone, a number of growth and
development of poor or malnourished children were taken to hospital by their parents,
asking that growth hormone, "reminders long." This child is irresponsible. Children's use
of growth hormone treatment may cause the following adverse reactions:
Growth hormone treatment may reduce bone density of children
Be used to help the early days of childhood to adolescence, a high drug - luteinizing
hormone-releasing hormone agonist on the time of puberty, but normal short stature children
does not apply. The drug can significantly reduce children's bone density, making them like
adults, is more likely to fracture.
Gigantism
Excessive use of growth hormone during childhood, then the patient will make a "gigantism."
Leading to hormone disorder
Excessive use of exogenous growth hormone can also be caused by the human body's antibody
response to growth hormone produced, thereby affecting the activity of endogenous growth
hormone secretion and lead to hormone disorders.
The occurrence or recurrence of cancer
The use of growth hormone may be related to the occurrence of childhood leukemia. In
addition, growth hormone treatment in children can also be caused by the original tumor
recurrence.
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension
Application of growth hormone treatment of children may be due to rapidly correct the lack
of long-term growth hormone caused by cerebrospinal fluid transfer, triggering a sharp rise
in intracranial pressure, manifested as headache, vomiting, papilledema, lumbar puncture
the pressure increased and so on.
Reminder:
Many people think that growth hormone therapy is to solve the problem of universal height
of therapy, is not entirely correct. If not for the disease caused by a lack of growth
hormone secretion, or a child under great psychological pressure because the height of the
case, the best mother's care by their children naturally grow up healthily. Appropriate
amount of exercise can stimulate the epiphyseal plate and bone to promote growth hormone
secretion, strengthen the body's muscles, bones and ligaments. Therefore, by more than 30
minutes a day doing sports, taking in a balanced nutrition for growth hormone secretion can
be strong, to promote children's growth and development.
