A member asked:
Hi what would would be happen if a 19 years old boy has growth hormone deficiency? does it effect on other things besides of being short?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly not: has he had a complete evaluation of his pituitary? He must, as there may be a benign growth which may cause other problems if allowed to grow. he needs to be seen by a pediatric endocrinologist.
