How It Works
Manipal Hospitals follows a structured, step-by-step approach for patients seeking growth hormone treatment in India, providing them with clear, safe, and continuous guidance.
Before treatment, endocrinologists perform a detailed evaluation that includes growth measurements, medical history review, blood tests, and stimulation studies to confirm deficiency. Additional imaging, such as a pituitary MRI, may be advised to rule out structural causes. Parents or adult patients receive information about expected outcomes, dosage schedules, injection techniques, and the importance of consistent therapy. Nutritional and lifestyle guidance is also provided to support treatment.
During the treatment, growth hormone injections are administered with fine, subcutaneous needles designed for minimal discomfort. Depending on the treatment plan, injections may be given daily or several times per week. The care team teaches families or patients how to prepare doses and maintain hygiene to ensure safe administration. Endocrinologists monitor early response and adjust the dosage gradually to ensure optimal hormone levels. Supportive counselling is offered to help manage expectations regarding the pace of growth or physical changes.
Throughout the management, regular follow-ups are scheduled to track growth velocity, review blood tests, and monitor metabolic markers. Adjustments to the dose are made based on progress.
