Lee Sung-woo (11) was a third grader in elementary school last year, but she was unable to live her daily life and lacked confidence due to her weak height and physical strength similar to those of first-year students. Lee Sung-woo, diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency, has steadily implemented solutions such as growth hormone injection treatment and lifestyle improvement, and has achieved about 13cm of storm growth.
Compared to a year ago, my physical strength and muscle strength improved, so I enjoyed boxing classes, and my favorite piano did not reach the pedal in the past, but now I can pedal easily and play better. I gained more confidence in my daily life, such as no longer using auxiliary chairs when I grew taller and washed or helped my mother cook, and my friends grew more. Along with growth hormone injection treatment, vegetables and other nutrients were evenly consumed, and lifestyle and surrounding environment improvements such as disinfection of bedding were also made to improve allergic rhinitis.
On this day's broadcast, Lee Sung-woo's current health condition was checked, and medical staff at Incheon Himchan General Hospital presented additional solutions through a conference through physical measurements and various growth tests. It also pointed out what viewers were curious about, such as the effectiveness and timing of the treatment of growth hormone injection.
Park Hye-young, chairman of the Barun Growth Clinic at Himchan General Hospital in Incheon, said "Lee Sung-woo grew 13cm with 6 months of growth hormone injection treatment, but it is regrettable that the period of height growth was reduced by stopping injection treatment in the middle, but there are still many opportunities for growth, so we will help him grow well until the rapid growth period arrives."
