Growth hormone is administered to people who have pituitary dorphism.
00:04
Parents wanting their normal children, be taller, have requested the treatment for them.
00:09
You think this is a wise request, why or why not? so let's go over what growth hormone deficiency is, or pituitary dorifism.
00:16
So pretty much it means growth hormone deficiency, also known as dorifism, pituitary dwarfism, is a condition caused by insufficient amount of growth hormone in the body.
00:30
Children with ghg have been normally short stature with normal body proportions, be present at birth, and develop later required.
00:38
So it's pretty much someone has an issue with their pituitary gland.
00:45
The condition occurs as the pituitary gland makes too little growth hormone.
00:48
It can also be the result of genetic effects, severe brain injury, or being born without a pituitary gland.
00:53
So it's really good for people with pituitary glyphism because they don't have the organ that makes the growth hormone.
00:59
So adding a synthetic growth hormone, helps them to grow.
01:03
And it's important for them because it can help them with like some heart disease.
01:07
You can help them with a couple like congenital diseases that they have if they don't get treated for it.
01:11
So it's a necessary disease for something that they don't have.
01:14
And so they have a synthetic measure for it.
01:23
Now parents that want their normal children or children that don't have that issue to be taller, have requested the treatment for them.
01:30
You think is some wise requests? i would say no because not everything is understood about what human growth hormone does.
01:37
And just from that, you shouldn't be using it if you don't know what it does.
01:41
But we do know that if your child doesn't have a deficiency, they have enough human growth hormone.
01:47
And it'd be pretty much like putting your kids on steroids because you want them to be stronger.
01:53
You could most likely give them permanent damage in some ways because your kids have healthy pituitary glands...
