Is it still useful to inject hormone after dwarfism 25 years old

First of all, growth hormone, also known as human growth hormone (hGH), is a peptide hormone forbidden in sports, which is usually used for the treatment of dwarfism. It has anabolic effect, can help children grow muscle, but also promote bone growth in childhood and adolescence, and strengthen tendons and increase internal organs. Athletes illegally use growth hormone mainly to strengthen muscles, increase strength, in order to achieve good results, but it is not allowed by the country and the world.

Then growth hormone deficiency dwarfism (also known as pituitary dwarfism). It refers to the growth and development disorder caused by the deficiency of adenohypophysis growth hormone from childhood. Its etiology can be idiopathic or secondary; it can be caused by pituitary diseases (pituitary), or by hypothalamic dysfunction leading to pituitary growth hormone deficiency (hypothalamic); it can be single sex growth hormone deficiency, or accompanied by adenohypophysis and other hormone deficiency. The disease is more common in men.

Finally, the epiphysis at the age of 25 is generally closed and will not grow any higher. It is useless to inject growth hormone. A person's height is not only related to heredity, but mainly determined by the skeleton. The long bones of the limbs are mainly composed of the backbone, skeleton and metaphysis.

matters needing attention

People with dwarfism should keep a good attitude in life, don't feel inferior because of illness, and actively participate in physical exercise. Dwarfism does not affect the brain. We should treat people with dwarfism with an ordinary mind.
