Suggest Remedy For Lack Of Growth In Hieght
My daughter is 8 years old her height is 122 cm and her weight is 33 kg. I took her to the doctor and he said that she is short and he made her bone xray to her left hand and a growth hormone. The xray of her hand showed that the age of the bone is 8 years. The results of growth hormone were as follows:
0 min - 0.312 ug/L
30 min 0.721 ug/L
45 min 0.83
60 min 0.903
120 min 0.904
180 min. 0.426
Having in mind that me and my husband are not short and when she was 6 she gained 7 centimenter and when she was 7 year she gained 5 cm height. The doctor recommend that she should have a growth hormon. My question does she need the hormone or should I wait and moniter her for another 1 year.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, look height is genetically decided if she has short stature in real then no need to give any growth hormone this would be harmful then benefited, she is just 8 years of age, wait till 18 years of her age because during this time period natural way of increasing growth hormone is very likely and this could increase the height, let us hope for good, take care.
