Suggest Treatments For HGH Disorder Causing Stinted Growth
Hi, I m 21 yr old male. I have growth hormone disorder, though it has not been diagnosed yet, i exhibit some signs of it. My height and weight is quiet low. I have tried to get HGH therapy and consulted many endocrinologists but too no avail. I m sure that its HGH disorder and its impacting me negatively. Can you please help?
Unfortunately at age 21, the areas on the long bones that are involved in bone growth would have undergone permanent change and even with hormonal therapy, no further growth can occur at this point.
At the end of adolescence , this area, the epiphyseal plate, changes to form the epiphyseal line and no further growth can occur after this.
I hope this clarifies this for you
