Patients with growth hormone deficiency do not have to be injected all the time, and the duration of treatment depends on the child’s physical development and the extent of the condition. For example, after the child’s epiphysis has closed, no further injections are necessary. In general, the duration of treatment for growth hormone deficiency is not recommended to be shorter than 1 to 2 years. It is usually necessary to give the child subcutaneous injection of recombinant human growth hormone injection as prescribed by the doctor from childhood to improve the growth efficiency of the child. Long-term treatment is usually recommended, but if the child’s epiphysis closes during treatment, the medication can be stopped as prescribed by the doctor, so there is no need to keep giving the injections. Generally speaking, after the age of 12, the body’s growth space will gradually shrink, so if the effect of the treatment is satisfactory, some patients will stop using the drug at around 12 years old. The exact duration of the medication depends on the actual situation and cannot be generalized. If your child is deficient in growth hormone, it is recommended that you take your child to the hospital in a timely manner to prevent the normal development of your child’s body from being affected.
