Children may require HRT for several reasons, including but not limited to:
Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD): A condition where the body does not produce enough growth hormone, leading to stunted growth. Hypothyroidism: An underactive thyroid gland that fails to produce sufficient thyroid hormones, affecting metabolism and growth. Adrenal Insufficiency: A condition where the adrenal glands do not produce enough cortisol and aldosterone, essential for stress response and electrolyte balance. Turner Syndrome: A chromosomal disorder in females that can lead to growth issues and lack of sexual development. Delayed Puberty: A condition where children do not show signs of puberty by the expected age, often requiring sex hormone therapy.
