HGH

Do adults need to receive human growth hormone (HGH) treatment?
Healthcare providers may prescribe synthetic HGH to adults with growth hormone deficiency, which is not an expected decrease in growth hormone due to aging.

Growth hormone deficiency is usually caused by a benign tumor of the pituitary gland (pituitary adenoma) or an adenoma treated with surgery or reflexology.

Injections of HGH can allow adults with growth hormone deficiency to:

Improve athletic ability
Increase bone density
Increase muscle mass
Reduce body fat
HGH therapy is also approved to treat adults with AIDS or HIV-related growth hormone deficiency that causes irregular body fat distribution.

What are the risks of human growth hormone treatment?
Human growth hormone treatment can cause some side effects in healthy adults, including:
carpal tunnel syndrome
increased insulin resistance
type 2 diabetes
swelling of the arms and legs (edema)
joint and muscle pain
A side effect in men is enlargement of breast tissue (gynaecomastia)
Increased risk of certain cancers
