Thank you Anhui parent Ms. Wang for sharing, the main content is from the parents' oral description:
After one year of treatment, I successfully broke through the genetic height and grew 13.5cm taller, how did my child achieve a counterattack?
The child is genetically tall one meter and six meters
Parents are a little scared when they are exposed to growth hormone for the first time
I am a mother, below I will share my child's growth story, my height is 154cm, the child's father is 168cm tall, the child's genetic height is one meter six, too short for a boy! I still want him to have more than 170, and I don't want my child to be like us, so we have always been very concerned about the height of the child.
At this time in 2020, I found that my child is one head shorter than children of the same age, always sitting in the first row, at this time I began to be anxious, I think is my child has any disease, I immediately took my child to the hospital to check the growth and development of the outpatient clinic, the doctor said that the bone age exceeds the actual height, can be treated with growth hormone, we are all native rural people, have not heard of this, is it really useful? Will there be other side effects after beating?
The incident came suddenly, the first time I heard about growth hormone, I didn't know much about it, so I went to see a Chinese doctor and a Western doctor, and I was told that I still needed injections, but I always felt a little afraid, so I planned to continue to observe.
Growing High Knowledge Class:
Predicted height formula: (father height + mother height soil 13) / 2
But the most accurate way to predict height is to make predictions by accurately assessing bone age, because calculating genetic height only takes into account the height of the parents, and does not take into account the height of the child and the bone age at that time.
Being bullied because of being short
The child does not dare to look up when walking
On November 1, 2020, the child was already in the second grade of primary school, belonging to the shortest in the class, at this time the son was only 115cm tall and weighed 20 kg, 14cm taller from 2018, with an interval of 2 years and 7 months, an average annual height of about 5.2cm, has reached the third gear of short stature, below the average height of 12cm, at this time finally decided to inject.
Because in school, boys are still relatively easy to be bullied if they are short, children are coaxed up completely ignorant, what to say in the heart, at first it was a joke, for a long time are taken seriously, all think that my child is short and bullied, my child because of his height is relatively inferior, walking with his head down, dare not talk to people, let alone resist the classmates who bully him, he also always said that he has no way to participate in football and basketball these sports competitions, every time he talks about the game, he feels that he is short in height and definitely can't enter, Including the selection of interest classes in the school, even if there is no height requirement, he feels that he can't do it, and I feel very uncomfortable looking at it.
I learned about this growth hormone through various ways and channels, desperately checked the information, asked people to inquire, and finally had a more comprehensive understanding of it, and I also had a bottom in my heart, plus my child really belongs to the medically recognized growth hormone deficiency, can be injected, and can only be injected, so began a long road to injections.
Growing High Knowledge Class:
Growth hormone is a peptide hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary gland of the human pituitary gland, composed of 191 amino acids, which plays a key role in human growth and development.
When the human body itself can not secrete growth hormone normally for various reasons, it is necessary to supplement exogenous growth hormone, in the field of pediatrics, the use of growth hormone for replacement therapy, can significantly promote children's height growth. At the same time, growth hormone also plays an important role in the field of reproduction, burns and anti-aging, and has been widely used in clinical practice.
After another examination, I decided to get an injection
The original early fee will be cheaper
In November 2020, I took my child to do a series of tests again, and all the conditions for injections were qualified (here you have to listen to the doctor, after all, you have to believe in science). I remember the approximate conditions should be:
1. Growth hormone deficiency (above 10 is not deficient, 5-10 is partial deficiency, below 5 is complete deficiency, we are 3.06 is complete deficiency);
2, should not be developed, if the development of inhibition injection, it seems that growth hormone can not be reimbursed, but the specific situation also depends on local policies.
On November 22, 2020, the child received the first injection, the injection was specially given to the outpatient clinic for dispensing, there was a special after-sales, the water agent 34/yuan 1 unit, my child is relatively thin, does not cost much, I don't know if it is lucky. At that time, the WeChat group of the growth and development of the hospital's attending doctor was added, and found that there were quite a lot of the same, many of them were older, the cost was more expensive, many because they had developed, they were inhibiting needles + growth hormone water agents in a two-pronged way, so we were still more fortunate, early to see, and the cost was low.
On November 22, 2021, it was exactly one year, I went to the hospital for a re-examination with a nervous mood, and the blood indicators were all normal, my height was 128.5cm (0.8cm worse than the standard), and I grew 13.5cm in one year, even the doctor said that my baby looked good. I think this is the comprehensive effect, in fact, since the injection, my baby has a good appetite in the diet, every day to drink milk 500ml, but still do not like to eat white eggs, in addition to insisting on daily injections, we take children plus a variety of exercises, go to bed early and get up early, now is spring, but also the golden time to grow taller, I hope to go to the next review to continue to maintain such a good growth.
Impressions:
Some people around me also asked me how I was willing to go for injections, in fact, we really went through a series of comprehensive examinations in the children's hospital, ruled out other problems, confirmed that it was a lack of growth hormone to get it, it was already a short stature standard, confirmed to be a disease, not casually. People who have not experienced it should not experience the pain that this short size brings to the whole family, and I feel bad when I see my child silent and inferior and sensitive day by day. Of course, some parents think that it is not a big deal to grow up, and it is normal to have such thoughts, but for me, this is not only about the child's future development, but also about his current mental health, I think it is a big thing! Since there are regular medical means to chase high, is it because you are afraid that you don't try? Do I have to spend my child's life gambling on miracles?
For now, my plan is to catch up with the average height of my peers before my child develops into adolescence!
