Risk-Free What you need to know about Human Growth Hormone (HGH) Treatment in Cape Town
Human growth hormone (HGH) is a naturally occurring hormone that is produced by the pituitary gland and secreted into the bloodstream. It is important for cell regeneration, cell reproduction, and growth. This hormone can help build, maintain, and repair healthy tissue in the brain and other organs. It can help repair muscle tissue after exercise and speed up healing after an injury. Also, it has some benefits to the appearance and quality of the skin.
Although HGH is a substance that occurs naturally, it is also available in synthetic forms as a treatment. Synthetic HGH is approved by the FDA for specific uses in children and adults. In children, HGH treatments are approved to treat short stature disorders and poor growth caused by some medical problems, including:
-
HGH insufficiency or deficiency
-
Chronic kidney disease
-
Prader-Willi syndrome
-
Children born small for gestational age.
In adults, there are several approved uses of HGH. These include:
-
HGH deficiency caused by rare pituitary tumors or their treatment
-
Short bowel syndrome
-
Muscle loss is associated with HIV/AIDS.
HGH can also help adults with a growth hormone deficiency to improve bone density, increase exercise capacity, build muscle mass, and reduce body fat. Due to these benefits, some people use HGH treatment to enhance their athletic ability. Many people also believe that this treatment has anti-ageing effects. Note that using HGH treatment to improve athletic performance and anti-ageing has not been scientifically proven and is not FDA-approved.Â
What's the Recovery Time for Human Growth Hormone (HGH) Treatment Procedures in Cape Town?
Normally, no recovery time is needed after HGH treatment. You may be allowed to return to your normal activity, including work and exercise, immediately after the procedure. Your doctor should give you a detailed timeline for your recovery.
What's the Success Rate of Human Growth Hormone (HGH) Treatment Procedures in Cape Town?
FDA-approved uses for HGH treatment are found to be safe, effective, and highly successful. For children with poor growth, the treatment may help them grow 1 to 2 inches within the first 6 months and about 4 inches or more over the first 3 years. Another 3 inches or more can be gained during the next 2 years.
While FDA-approved uses for HGH treatment are safe, there are some risks you need to be aware of, including:
-
Muscle, joint, or nerve pain
-
High cholesterol levels
-
Carpal tunnel syndrome
-
Type 2 diabetes
-
Swelling in the legs and arms (edema)
-
Increased risk of certain cancer
-
Increased insulin resistance.
Make sure that you get HGH treatment from a board-certified and experienced doctor.
