The Results Month by Month, You Can Expect from Human Growth Hormone Therapy

Through a series of blood tests, pituitary stimulating tests, or genetic testing, along with a thorough discussion of your medical history and symptoms, you and your doctor have decided human growth hormone therapy is the right method of treatment for you. What can you now expect as you move forward with your injections or sprays and how soon will you be able to see results?

 Monitoring GH Treatment

Depending on the results of your tests performed by your licensed endocrinologist, GH treatment is often dosed for replacement in micrograms per kilograms of your body weight. Older patients may require less GH for noticeable effects, while women often require greater dosage levels than their male counterparts, especially if accompanying estrogen replacement therapy is also included. Children’s dosages require an experienced physician, knowledgeable of the effects and unique nature of a child’s body.

After your dosage has been stabilized, continuous evaluation and assessment should be included to maximize the benefits while curtailing any possible side effects. Blood pressure, waist circumference, weight, and BMI measurements should be performed annually and bone DEXA scans should be rechecked against a baseline every two years, especially if the baseline is abnormal.

Your diagnosis, age, overall medical and health history, the extent of your GH deficit, your tolerance for the treatment, and your expectations all factor into the dosage, duration of treatment, and expected outcome of HGH treatment. Dosage recommendations also depend on your diagnosis and the hoped for results of treatment. Whether treating HGH deficiency, cachexia, adult short bowel syndrome, pediatric growth hormone deficiency or other pediatric concerns, and other health concerns all affect the treatment process regarding dosage levels and methods of ingesting. Your licensed endocrinologist helps determine your best treatment options and tailors a plan to fit your concerns and needs.
