Examination
Height, growth speed and signs of puberty. A hand X-ray for bone age when indicated, to estimate skeletal maturity and remaining growth.
Medical care
Evaluate the cause before choosing a therapy.
Assessment, intervention and follow-up by specialists at licensed medical facilities. Cao 360° helps with screening, preparing records, booking and follow-up.
Four clear medical steps
Endocrine tests
Only when indicated: growth-hormone assessment following clinical protocols, IGF-1, thyroid, metabolism and relevant micronutrients.
Finding the cause
Hormone deficiency, early or late puberty, chronic illness, nutrition or family pattern — each cause has its own management.
Treatment & follow-up
Cause-based treatment, including growth-hormone therapy only when diagnosed and prescribed; regular review and re-measurement.
Growth-hormone therapy
Growth-hormone therapy: the right person, at the right time
Appropriate when
- A physician diagnoses growth-hormone deficiency or another condition with a treatment indication.
- Growth plates are still open, confirmed by examination and bone-age X-ray when needed.
- An endocrinologist monitors the response regularly.
Not appropriate when
- Growth plates are closed — hormones do not lengthen bones.
- There is no medical indication: self-injecting does not guarantee extra height and still carries risk.
- Buying or injecting hormones without a prescription.
Diagnosis and treatment are carried out by licensed physicians at licensed facilities. Cao 360° does not sell medicines and does not give injections.
