The options for adults are less effective, more expensive, and there aren't as many of them

[Pituitary @EndocrineGland]

There is also something such as replacement therapy for children with short stature

[Pituitary @EndocrineGland]

The treatment for these is usually the removal of the tumor because the majority of these GH defects r cause by tumors in the pituitarygland

[Pituitary @EndocrineGland]

These GH symptoms can be caused by the CNS having tumors,trauma, or surgery of the hypothalamus or pituitary gland

[Pituitary @EndocrineGland]

This may also negatively affect the heart

[Pituitary @EndocrineGland]

In adults less GH causes fat tissues to increase and a decrease in muscle mass.

[Pituitary @EndocrineGland]

In youngins not enough GH can range from anything between retardation, to short stature and even delayed puberty

[Pituitary @EndocrineGland]

Age has a major factor on the different side effects of low or high GH

[Pituitary @EndocrineGland]

You could also have larger organs such as your heart and might even get polyps on your large intestines

[Pituitary @EndocrineGland]

Diabetes could be an issue if you have too much GH as an adult watch out! #diabetes

[Pituitary @EndocrineGland]

I don't only affect kids, if you're an adult, too much GH can give you huge feet or hands!

[Pituitary @EndocrineGland]

If you have too much growth hormone as a kid you'll be gigantic! #Shaq#Yao-Ming

Hope you have just the right amount of me
