Hi, my niece, who will turn 9 in one week, shows the sign of reaching puberty. And doctor in China suggests to use monthly injection for 18 months to help her grow a little taller. She is short for her age. Is this right treatment for her or she is at her normal age for puberty. Thanks.
Hi dear, normal age of puberty is different in different country but it is between 10 to 15 years. during puberty monthly injection for getting taller is helps you to be tall but there are also some side effects of that. so discuss with your treating doctor about that. because such injection are of hormonal preparation. Thank you
