A member asked:
Doctors, if i am 20 male and have had little to now hgh in me or low hgh, and low hormones, will this age me at a rapid rate and make me an old man?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HGH: no. low growth hormone is common amongst patients who are panhypopituitary usually or most commonly from surgical debulking of a pituitary tumor. Many patients live most of their lives with no replacement of growth hormone. The parameters affected arenot aging but more so obesity, fatigue, decreased survival rate. Low growth hormone is very rare.
