Question
Is growth hormone a hormone? Are there any side effects? Does it affect children?
Answer
Growth hormone is a type of hormone that has significant regulatory effects on the metabolism of nutrients and the functions of multiple organs in the body. It plays an important role in children’s growth process, but long-term or improper use of growth hormone may affect children’s growth and development and may lead to side effects such as central obesity. When using growth hormone for treatment, it should be done under the guidance of a doctor, with close monitoring of side effects and adjustment of the treatment plan.
