A member asked:
What do you think, could growth hormones be effective to grow taller for somebody who has hypothyroidism?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
IN A CHILD, POSSIBLE: If a child is very short in stature, has hypothyroidism, and has open growth plates in their bones, both growth hormone and adequate thyroid replacement therapy will help with growth. In an adult, it will not cause growth.
