growth hormone treatment, even if it is needed, costs lakhs of rupees. testing for growth hormone levels is lengthy, difficult and can be dangerous.
in any case, most guidelines stop growth hormone treatment at 18 year age.
what is the point of doing difficult and dangerous tests, if at the end, there is no money for expensive treatment.
yes it is appointment through Marham
