Is it really reliable and effective for the doctor to tell you? Xiao Wei, who is in adolescence, has always lacked self-confidence because of her height. Just when Xiao Wei was upset, a strange text message made her ignite the fire of hope.

According to Xiao Wei, the client, I received a short message from this youth support center on my mobile phone two years ago, recommending that it could help her solve her height problem. Just at that time, I was not very satisfied with my height. They said how many centimeters I could sign an agreement to buy their medicine. I asked my parents to buy a course of treatment for 20 thousand yuan.

Xiao Wei said that he had always been dissatisfied with his height, and he was relatively short among his peers. Suddenly receiving a text message from this so-called youth support center was like a life-saving straw for Xiao Wei, who was 14 years old.

Xiao Wei: When I came for a reexamination in the second year, when I came to the reception, I said that I could renew a course of treatment. At that time, my height did grow, which was better than that without taking medicine before. Then we thought we could renew it.

Two years of medicine is not cheap, a full 40 thousand yuan, but how long it takes and how much it can grow, people dare to sign a contract in black and white. At that time, Xiao Wei was full of confidence in getting taller by taking medicine.

Xiao Wei: At that time, I promised to sign an agreement, and I could grow 8 cm in two years. If I can't grow it, I can get a refund.

However, two years later, Xiao Wei, who is now 16 years old, has not increased by 8 cm. When he came to this company called Youth Support Center, he found that the building was empty.

It seems that this company is really shooting for a new place. For this matter, Xiao Wei also said that he should only buy a lesson and will never go to the hospital again.

Next, we invite Director Yin Qi, an endocrinologist in our hospital, to make relevant analysis for you:

Is it useful to pass on the high-altitude medicine through the internet?

Parents, you should pay attention to the fact that at present, the only effective drug approved by china food and drug administration (SFDA) to promote children's growth is recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH).

In addition, there are no drugs with definite efficacy on the market. The "drugs for heightening" mentioned on the Internet are actually health care products.

Growth hormone is only an injection, but there is no oral dosage form. Some parents seek oral "high-altitude drugs" because they can't bear to give their children an injection.

Some products on the market that claim to have the function of "increasing" are divided into the following categories:

Analysis of heightening drugs

At present, there are many drugs on the market, but they have the following three properties:

Nutritional supplements

The main components of this kind of drugs are similar to arginine, or calcium, vitamin D, amino acids, or copper and zinc.

If trace elements are deficient and need to be supplemented after testing, they can be supplemented appropriately.

However, if the child does not lack these nutrients, it will cause excessive accumulation of nutrients and affect normal growth and development.

Adding sex hormones

This drug can lead to early development and precocious puberty in children.

At the same time, because of the stimulation of sex hormones, the child's bone age increases rapidly, and the epiphyseal line closes ahead of time, which leads to the shortening of the bone growth period.

A child who should have been six years old only grew for three years, which eventually led to a lack of height. Therefore, all drugs that add sex hormones should be banned.

Unknown composition

It's just a black bottle with unknown ingredients and no way to inquire about the product qualification, which is even more frightening.

High-altitude drugs are useless. How can we increase them scientifically?

First of all, it is necessary to carry out some medical tests on children, such as bone age, growth hormone, trace elements, bone density, etc., so as to facilitate comprehensive judgment and evaluation.

Subsequently, the doctor will design a complete and personalized treatment plan for the child according to his specific situation.

For example: some growth hormone injections, or some special physical treatments, and lack of some trace elements, or lack of some nutritional supplements, so that children can achieve ideal therapeutic effects in the development process.

Dear parents, at present, the only drug approved for the treatment of short stature in clinic is growth hormone! For children with short stature, the earlier you start treatment, the better the treatment effect.
