Dr. Xu Ziyun states that growth hormone used in medicine is a registered drug and is only recommended for appropriate situations, such as in patients with dwarfism. In addition to growth hormone deficiency, growth hormone injections are also used for chronic renal failure and syndromes such as Turner's syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome<\/p><p>Dr. Xu stressed that before using growth hormone, it is essential for a doctor to conduct a detailed examination and assessment<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"content_block_0 article0 hide\" data-block-index=\"2\"><div class=\"article-block\" data-block=\"3\"><h2>Blind injection of growth hormone or side effects<\/h2><p>Growth hormone has been used in medicine for 30-40 years with a high safety profile. \"When used under doctor's advice and supervision, there are generally no major problems, nor will gigantism occur.

The focus of the diet should be on balance and sufficient portion sizes to meet the child\u2019s growth needs, with adequate protein being particularly important.In addition, trace elements (such as calcium and vitamin D) must also be included. In the event of inadequate nutritional intake, parents may consider supplementing their child\u2019s diet with nutritional supplements.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"content_block_0 article0 hide\" data-block-index=\"4\"><div class=\"article-block\" data-block=\"5\"><div><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"fullwidth lazy-vanilla loaded\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthyd.com\/uploads\/media\/2024\/11\/shutterstock_1891073953-768x512.jpg\" alt=\"\u751f\u9577\u6fc0\u7d20-\u5152\u7ae5\u589e\u9ad8-\u91ab\u751f\u6307\u5152\u7ae5\u8eab\u9ad8\u53d6\u6c7a\u65bc3\u5927\u56e0\u7d20-\u71df\u990a-\u86cb\u767d\u8cea-\u7761\u7720-\u907a\u50b3\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\" \/><\/div><p>Regarding children's height, many people also have the following questions:<\/p><h2>Myth #1 about children\u2019s height: Does getting enough sleep help children grow taller?<\/h2><p>Dr. Xu: Growth hormone is indeed secreted after sleep, especially during the slow-wave stage when you first enter deep sleep, which is around 10 pm to 2 am. Therefore, if you frequently lack sleep or go to bed very late, it will have a certain impact on growth and development.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"content_block_0 article0 hide\" data-block-index=\"5\"><div class=\"article-block\" data-block=\"6\"><h2>Myth #2 about children\u2019s height: It is often said that girls grow taller faster than boys, but that the opposite is true during puberty. Is this really the case?<\/h2><p>Dr. Xu: That's right. This is because girls generally start puberty earlier, between the ages of 7-12, while boys start between 9-14. Therefore, girls' height increases earlier than boys', but then slows down.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"content_block_0 article0 hide\" data-block-index=\"6\"><div class=\"article-block\" data-block=\"7\"><h2>Myth #3 about children\u2019s height: Does a fever really help children grow taller?<\/h2><p>Dr. Xu: The idea that children grow taller after a fever has no scientific basis. During a fever, the normal growth rate might be temporarily paused. However, this \"pause\" is just a temporary delay. After the child recovers, regains their appetite, and gets sufficient nutrition, they will catch up, giving the impression of a sudden growth spurt.<\/p><\/div><div data-block=\"7\"><hr \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"td_block_wrap tdb_single_content tdi_62 td-pb-border-top td_block_template_1 td-post-content tagdiv-type\" data-td-block-uid=\"tdi_62\"><div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><p>Source: healthy:D (4 November 2024): <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthyd.com\/articles\/parenting\/%E7%94%9F%E9%95%B7%E6%BF%80%E7%B4%A0-%E5%85%92%E7%AB%A5%E5%A2%9E%E9%AB%98-%E9%86%AB%E7%94%9F%E6%8C%87%E5%85%92%E7%AB%A5%E8%BA%AB%E9%AB%98%E5%8F%96%E6%B1%BA%E6%96%BC3%E5%A4%A7%E5%9B%A0%E7%B4%A0\" rel=\"noopener\">Growth hormone | South Korean parents inject growth hormone into their children to boost height.
