Question
How should partial growth hormone deficiency be treated?
Answer
Case Analysis: Hello, may I know the child’s bone age? Are there any abnormalities in the pituitary MRI? In fact, many children with partial growth hormone deficiency, especially younger ones, may not necessarily need to rush into using growth hormone. It is important to first identify the cause of the child’s short stature. Many children may be experiencing this due to poor diet or digestion and absorption issues. Guidance: It is advisable to address the underlying cause of the child’s short stature. This approach can not only reduce costs but also avoid potential side effects of growth hormone use.
