Low growth hormone - Renew Hormone Clinic

What is low growth hormone?

Human growth hormone (HGH) is an important hormone produced in the pituitary gland. It stimulates growth, cell regeneration and cell reproduction. Growth hormone deficiency or hypopituitarism is a condition where the pituitary gland does not produce enough HGH.

Symptoms of low HGH include:

• Fatigue
• Decreased muscle mass and strength
• Increased body fat, especially around the waist
• An inability to handle stress
• Mood swings and poor self-confidence

Some factors that contribute to low HGH are:

• Genetic mutations
• Tumors or pituitary gland damage
• Traumatic brain injury
• Infection
• Radiation therapy or surgery

Low IGF-1 levels often indicate low HGH as insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is dependent on HGH to stimulate growth. Blood tests for IGF-1 and stimulation tests to measure HGH are used for diagnosis.

If left untreated, growth hormone deficiency in adults and children can have significant health consequences:

• Higher cardiovascular disease risk
• Accelerated aging
• Osteoporosis
• Impaired quality of life

Treatment Options

Treatment usually involves HGH injections to restore normal levels. Other options include:

• Medications to stimulate HGH production
• Improving nutrition and lifestyle habits
• Working with endocrinologists focused on hormonal health optimization
