Any injection of hormones can have certain side effects, regardless of the type of hormone. The key to the occurrence of side effects lies in the methods used by doctors. Reasonable use can effectively avoid side effects and achieve the effect of curing the disease. However, if injected frequently or not used in a standardized manner, serious side effects can occur. So everyone should have a good attitude towards hormones and actively cooperate with treatment.

What are the side effects of using growth hormone in vitro

1. Redness and swelling: It occurs at the injection site, mainly in the early stages of use, and subsides within 1-3 weeks, without affecting the efficacy of growth hormone.

2. Subclinical decrease in thyroid hormone levels: About one-third of patients experience this phenomenon after using growth hormone, mainly due to accelerated growth and inability to keep up with thyroid hormone secretion. After this phenomenon occurs, it can be corrected by taking a small amount of thyroid hormone tablets orally. After discontinuing growth hormone, it will return to normal.

3. Joint swelling and pain: It is rare for children to treat adult diseases. It occurs in the early stages of medication and disappears after the dosage is reduced.

The reason for producing growth hormone in test tubes

As age increases, the number of functional mitochondria in human oocytes decreases. Exogenous supplementation of growth hormone will significantly increase the number of functional mitochondria, restore the activity of oocytes, and thereby improve the quality of oocytes. In addition, growth hormone can improve ovarian response and promote follicle growth by increasing the number of granulosa cells, which may also be beneficial for improving endometrial receptivity in patients with repeated transplant failures.

Suggested population for using growth hormone

(1) All women over the age of 40.

(2) The previous test tube cycle was confirmed to have poor prognosis (especially for young patients with lower embryo scores).

(3) Follicles 10mm≤ 4.

AMH? 5mol/L patients.

In current clinical applications, there is no consensus on the dosage and duration of growth hormone use, and more research is needed to better apply growth hormone in the reproductive field.

People who use growth hormone with caution

(1) Hypertension.

(2) Uterine fibroids.

(3) Ovarian tumors.

(4) Endometriosis.

But don't worry too much, because the side effects of growth hormone are reversible and will be excreted through metabolism without causing significant harm to the body. So patients' friends don't have to worry too much.
