HGH Side Effects

The lion's share of adverse side effects that have been reported are by patients undergoing Hormone Replacement Therapy with HGH injections.

These side effects are largely caused by the fact that these injections deliver a complete dose of HGH into the body. With the hormone being introduced from an outside source, the pituitary begins to decrease natural production.

The only way to be sure that your body is receiving the "true" Human Growth hormone is for the pituitary gland to produce it naturally. Any kind of injection introduced from outside the body will always be synthetic.

As mentioned above, production of HGH by the pituitary gland can begin to slow as the synthetic replacement continues to be injected. In addition to the attenuation of production, the risk of complete shut down by the pituitary gland begins to present itself. The body will not release any more HGH than is absolutely necessary. Therefore if it is receiving it's supply from elsewhere, the pituitary renders itself useless.

Other Side Effects of HGH Injections

Those receiving HGH injections from a questionable source, other than their physician and those who take larger doses than what is recommended by their health care provider put themselves at risk for the following side effects:

Gynecomastia (enlarged breasts in males),Liver Damage,Edema and Fluid Retention, Painful Joints, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Acromegaly, a disease which is marked by enlargement of the bones of the extremities, face and jaw that is caused by over activity of the pituitary gland.

Acromegaly has been generally reported in subjects who have taken excessive amounts HGH. This is a dangerous disease with increased incidence of fatality and heart attacks.

Additional side effects have been reported and attributed to large doses of the HGH injection such as water retention and carpal tunnel syndrome. Studies done by specialists in this field have produced positive results. Although compelling, these studies also uncovered some confounding side effects which include not only the aforementioned water retention and carpal tunnel syndrome, but gynecomastia (enlarged breasts in men).

HGH and Cancer

HGH injection treatments are also known as HRT (hormone replacement therapy) with synthetic HGH.

Like any other innovation in medicine, only time and further research will tell what the long term side effects of Hormone Replacement therapy using HGH are. Some studies have reported that HRT using other synthetic hormones, such as estrogen,increase the risk of cancer.

While there are studies that have produced negative results with regard to this kind of therapy, specifically in relation to cancer, there are others that show no heightened risk as a result of HGH. Therefore all that can be said with any certainty is that there is still no definitive answer to the question at hand. "Does HRT with HGH cause cancer?"

Not to be confused with Hormone Replacement Therapy using HGH, treatment involving the use of the Human Growth Hormone
in the attempt to help the pituitary gland to produce and release an appropriate amount of natural HGH has not been known to cause cancer. This is also derived from the fact that "True" HGH, produced naturally by the pituitary gland, has not been found to increase the risk of cancer.

HGH is undetectable in drug screening tests requiring urine samples. As a result the Human Growth Hormone has replaced anabolic steroids as the preferred drug among athletes who are looking for a "short cut" to optimizing their bodies' ability to perform. Increasing reports of abuse are also a result of this.

To avoid any of the above side effects or complications, please consult with your physician before making the decision to begin HGH therapy.
