Human Growth Hormone Deficiency?
I'm pretty sure its HGD?
I've tried to ignore it, but I just can't anymore.
I'm 18, 5'4, 108 pounds, male, 11 1/2 shoe size, and look REALLY young. I've looked exactly the same for 4 years now. All the males on both sides of my family are 5'10 and on the heavy side. I have plenty of hair everywhere except my face which I have a little. My testes are in the next to last stage of development. I was average height till about 8th grade and I have not grown any since. I also have not changed in my face. The pictures of me in the 8th grade, look exactly like the ones now, in college. I was 5'4 in the 8th grade, looked like a normal 8th grader. Then I just stopped changing. My mom is 5'4 and my dad is 5'10(at least, probably more). I am not exaggerating about how I look. I look extremely young. .I have a really poor appetite and I am on Prozac.
Reasons why I think its HGD :
I have Huge feet for my size
I haven't changed in 4 years physically
The other effects of puberty has not been effected...(size of testes, pubic hair)
Every male on both sides are at least 5"10 and on the heavy side.
I'm having a lot of trouble gaining weight/poor appetite
I look like a 13 year old max
I have poor muscle mass (the bones on my elbows/wrists and shoulders actually stick out...looks weird)
I was average size till the 8th grade...was in the 50th percentile for boys, then plummeted to the 3rd?
I take Prozac for anxiety (another symptom)
My penis has not grown any since the 8th grade
My family doctor did blood tests on everything but HGD (Endo's have to do the test). I need a referral to see an endo, do you think he will give me one? Anyone had any experience with HGD? Sound like I have it?
-----A lot of people skim so I'm going to say it again. I look REALLY young 13-14, not just short. That is what bothers me.

Edit: Just wondering...any heart or lung issues, or other medical issues that you may have?
Nope...at least that I am aware of. I'm trying to tell my mom I need to see one, but she is siding with my family doctor atm...
People I've just read this and I think I can still grow taller..?!!!?
I'm 19 year old girl.. I've just read this about how to grow taller
my question is: is this true?? do u think i can grow taller??
The spine accounts for about 35% of your current Height.
Human spinal column consists of 33 separate bone segments known as vertebrae held together by ligaments (tough and fibrous tissue).
Out of these 33 vertebrae, only the lowest 9 are fused into two immovable bones, the sacrum and the coccyx, forming the back of the pelvis.
All the other 24 vertebrae are Permanently Movable and thus will Never be Fused. These 24 vertebrae are the 7 cervical (neck), 12 thoracic (back of chest), and 5 lumbar (loin).
Located between each of these 24 vertebrae are cartilaginous pads called disks. The thickness of the disks determines the length of the spinal column and directly influences the Height. There are 25 disks in total, their combined length accounts for 25% of your Total Height.
Since these disks are Non-fusible cartilages, they can Constantly Grow Thicker under the stimulation of growth hormone during a life time.
The Thicker those disks are, the longer your spinal column is and the Taller you become. Even each disk Grows only 0.25 cm (0.1 inch) thicker, which is the length of this line in quotes "_", you will grow 0.25 times by 25 = 6.25 cm (2.5 inches) Taller!
I'm 15 and I've just started to lift some weights but I've heard it stunt your growth, do they?
I have had mixed opinions about weights stunting your growth. Some say that it actually stimulates your growth because it helps stimulate turn your protein into Human Growth Hormone. Others say it causes too much tension in your bones and causes damage to your growth plates. I am really confused. I have been bench pressing and doing machine weights such as legg press and ones that help shoulder and pecs etc. Do weights actually stunt your growth? if they do, why? and does proper technique prevent stunting of the growth? thanks in advance x
How can I show what tendonitis is using household appliances?
For my health project we have an injury and we have to demonstrate what the bones and muscles and stuff would look like if that happened. Well i have tendonitis and I have no clue how to show what it is can anyone help?
HELP ME please???????
OMG WHAT have I DONE?
Okay, i am an 18 year old male whose 5 feet 6 inches tall weigh about 171 lbs.
HERES MY STORY
I used to be fat, I weighed 265 lbs at the same height. And I started my diet 1 month before my 17th birthday which is in april. I started it on march 3rd and stopped it around christmas time. I lost about 120 lbs within 8 or 9 months. I WAS BELUMIC AND ANNOREXIC, I went down to 142lbs and really bony ALL I LOST I think was muscle no fat. I definatly suffered malnutrition. I THINK i stunned my growth. I WANT TO talk to my doctor about this, but im afraid cause he might think im weird, plus annoying because I asked him about a month ago to prescribe him to me, because I thought I were short. I DID not tell him that I was annorexic nor belumic, do you think telling him that would make him prescribe it to me. COULD he prescribe HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE Injections to me, without me paying or do I need to pay. What should I do I HATE BEING SHORT, and I cant believe I was so stupid. MY height was supposed to be 5 feet 9 and a half, judging by an online calculator. What do you suggest I do, I even feel my bones are weak. Please, serious answers only. THANK YOU, should i see a endocrinologist and tell him my story,
Please answer this question ALSO??
What tests will he do on me that would make him realize that i need human growth hormone. And my growth plates are still open, will he prescribe them to me. WILL I have to pay if he prescribes it to me, or does the insurance cover it.
THANK YOu, very much

Overall, what damage do you honestly think it caused my body, as of now I feel pain on my right breast, everytime I stretch to the left the pain hurts a lot. Also, do you think I am not well devoloped as a male yet, because I havent recieved hormones from my body to grow or to even be a male, can malnutrition cause CANCER. PLEASE HELP ME, I am very worried.
