Problem description: Before the injection, the boy grew slowly and his bone age was lower than his actual age. In October 2017, he was diagnosed with a lack of growth hormone after an inpatient system check at the Wenzhou Class-A hospital. He started to take Ansumeng powder. By 20 years he grew 20cm taller, and the injection effect was not good. The bone age also increased, and the growth changed. It’s going to be slow. I changed my doctor two months ago. I stopped the injection and changed my diet. After taking lysine for a month, it only grew by 0.1. Then I started the injection again. I took 10 units for a month and it grew by 0.4. Yesterday, the weight was 67.5 kg and the height was 155 cm. The doctor said that he would try to increase the dose, from 10 units to 12 units. To be honest, I am a little worried. Will this dose be too large? The bone age taken on 20.12.27 is uploaded below. Thank you doctor for answering truthfully.
