Question
Do growth hormones have side effects? Can they cause tumors? My child is using them, what kind of help do they need?
Answer
Growth hormone treatment is based on the specific situation of a child’s growth and development disorder. It is commendable that parents are concerned about their child’s health and growth. In fact, most Chinese children should be monitored for their growth and development, with about 70% requiring growth hormone treatment. This treatment usually has no significant side effects, and even if there are, they are rare. However, it is crucial for a child’s growth and development.
