Channel Description

Sophia is a U.S Registered Pediatric Endocrinologist.
She specializes in children's growth and hormones.

GH deficiency happens when the body does not make enough growth hormone to allow a child to grow at a normal pace.

The two kinds of GH deficiency are:

1-) Congenital GH deficiency. This is the kind that some babies are born with. They also can have problems with other hormones. Even though they're born with the condition, some babies look like they're growing normally until they are about 6 to 12 months old.

2-) Acquired GH deficiency. This happens when the body stops making enough GH to grow normally. It can start at any time in childhood.

If your child has growth failure or short stature, even without any other signs or symptoms, kindly contact us preferably via WhatsApp on the phone number +1(323)475-9370.

Treatment for GH deficiency is a growth hormone shot every day. Parents learn how to give these shots at home so they don't need to go to the doctor's office for them.
