Question
Do growth hormones have side effects? Will long-term use have any impact on a child’s body?
Answer
Growth hormones do have certain side effects. Depending on the child’s condition, if they need to be used, the general side effects are usually not significant. Growth hormones can sometimes lead to the recurrence of gigantism. Sometimes, headaches, nausea, and vomiting may occur again. This medication is typically used for a relatively long period. Generally, medication is stopped after adolescence.
