Low growth hormone - Hormone Harmony Clinic

What is low growth hormone?

Growth hormone (GH) is an important hormone produced by the pituitary gland that promotes growth during childhood and maintains tissues and organs throughout life. When the body does not produce enough growth hormone, it is known as growth hormone deficiency (GHD) or hypopituitarism.

Some key things to know about low GH:

• Symptoms can include decreased energy, muscle mass and bone density, increased body fat, high cholesterol, and emotional changes
• It can happen at any age but most commonly develops in childhood as a congenital condition or in adulthood due to a pituitary tumor
• Diagnosis involves blood tests of GH levels and evaluation of other pituitary hormones
• If left untreated, low GH can lead to various medical problems so early detection is key

Fortunately, growth hormone therapy is available to treat GHD. Hormone Harmony Clinic offers high quality recombinant human growth hormone injections and close medical supervision of treatment. Their clinics specialize in adult growth hormone deficiency.
