Human growth hormone

Has anybody read about HGH use in prostate cancer patients to help prevent muscle loss and to fight fatigue? All we could find was something about lesser chance to end up with prostate cancer if plenty of HGH is present.

growth hormone replacement

Her growth hormones are half the normal level (don’t have the figures to hand) so she has just started growth hormone replacement injections today, 0.3mg, just wondering if anyone out there has gone through a similar thing?

Human growth hormone (particularly zomacton but advice on any be grateful) side effects/,did it help/costs thanks

Just wondering anyone who took human growth hormone what side effects you had?? I've been recommended zomacton 4mg every 4 days for 6 weeks before egg collection just wondering what others were recommended dosage wise? And also how much and where you got it? And most importantly did it help?

Human Growth Hormone deficiency in Hypothyroidism

The outcome of this testing is that my human growth hormone (HGH) is low. My GP said he didn’t know what to make of this and would refer to endocrinology, endocrinology would not accept the referral saying they don’t know what my HGH should be at my age (65).

Transitioning into High School

He's very small for his age (just started on growth hormone therapy) and is currently taking the smallest dose of Vyvance for his ADHD. Next year he will be entering High School. I was wondering how the transition was for your children's transition into high school from middle school.

Further advice, please!

I was diagnosed with Growth Hormone Deficiency in Nov 2020 and have been on treatment for that with Somatropin since then. It improved things enormously, but still symptoms remained, and I finally figured out that I have Central Hypothyroidism, largely thanks to this group.

Sauna use good or bad?

I have read that sauna use does apparently trigger growth hormone release and so I wonder aloud here if anyone has had their doctor discourage sauna? Or for that matter, too much or too vigorous exercise?

Both GHSR and IGFBP7 from the growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor axis group may suppress whales’ cancer risk.

This is pretty far off topic for PCa but studying these genes may lead to some clues on controling cancer in humans. https://www.iflscience.com/how-the-largest-whales-got-so-big-may-be-explained-by-four-genes-67162?utm_source=join1440&utm_medium=email&utm_placement=newsletter

I have a diagnosis and it's not hashimotos, it's acromegaly

Testing growth hormone on its own isn't very useful as it's a hormone that varies considerably during the day.

11 follicles at baseline scan

I have been taking DHEA and human growth hormone and my clinic have said they will up my stimulation drugs from last time when I was on the lowest dose. Has anyone had a good outcome after getting 11 follicles at baseline? Is there a chance I can get more?

Sexual dysfunction (male)

After a decade of ill health, only part of which was this problem, I was diagnosed with and treated for Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD) from Nov 2020. This has improved my life enormously in many ways, but not helped the sexual dysfunction.

People are seen using HGH to lose weight, some people are of the opinion that HGH or the human growth hormone pills are good for losing fat and for gaining muscles.

Asking for a friend ...

I've suspected growth hormone deficiency (GHD) but also her thyroid results are very suspicious for central hypothyroidism (CeH), with low range FT4, low TSH, and hypothyroid symptoms. My view is that she has had CeH for years, and then GHD since the surgery.
