Growth Hormone Injections
Rising Prescriptions and Side Effects
Over the past five years, the number of growth hormone prescriptions has increased sharply,
and reports of related side effects have also grown.
Pursuing hormone therapy solely for height improvement,
without proper medical evaluation, may pose serious health risks to children.
In Growth Hormone Therapy,
Safety Matters

Growth Hormone Adverse Cases
Source: Ministry of Health and Welfare, Korea
According to the Ministry of Health and Welfare of ROK, growth hormone prescriptions
rose 3.45 times, from 50,000 in 2018 to 190,000 in 2022.
Side effect cases rose nearly five times, from 320 to 1,604 during the same period.
The faster rise in side effects compared
to prescriptions suggests the potential dangers
of unregulated hormone use.
This reminds us that what truly matters is
not just “growth acceleration,”
but creating a safe environment for healthy growth.
Growth hormone injections
aren’t for everyone.
Growth hormone treatment is insured
only for rare diseases
or clinically confirmed growth disorders.
Recently, growth hormone prescriptions
have risen for non-medical reasons
“simply to get taller.”

Growth hormone therapy is intended for certain medical conditions,
not as a general growth enhancer for all children.
Bareuljung Korean Medicine Hospital
Bareuljung Korean Medicine Hospital emphasizes safe,
individualized growth care
grounded in each child’s body type,
musculoskeletal balance, and core strength.
Balanced Growth,
Nurturing Your Child’s Potential
Like a wooden bucket that holds water, a child’s growth is shaped by many elements
-knowledge, experience, health, and environment.
Just as a sturdy bucket can be filled to the brim,
a child’s potential is fully realized only
when all elements of growth are balanced.
But if even one wooden piece is weak or broken,
the water can rise only to that level - just as growth, too, becomes limited.
Growth is more than height,
it’s the harmony of all elements that nurture a child.
Bareuljung Korean Medicine Hospital
nurtures each child’s natural growth potential
and builds a healthy growth environment together with parents.
Accurate Growth Prediction
VUNOmed
AI Growth Plate Analysis
Bareuljung Korean Medicine Hospital uses
the AI-based VUNOmed Growth Plate Test for precise,
scientific growth analysis
going beyond simple X-ray interpretation to identify
each child’s growth potential and remaining growth period.
AI-based growth plate analysis goes far beyond simply reading an X-ray.
Based on the child’s hand X-ray image,
the AI precisely analyzes the degree of growth plate closure,
its shape, and the bone age.
It visualizes remaining growth potential
with data and graphs,
objectively predicting possible
height gain and growth period.
It complements the doctor’s subjective judgment,
providing higher accuracy and objectivity.
As a result, it helps parents and children
make informed decisions
and choose personalized treatment plans
based on accurate growth data.
When Is the Best Time to Start
Growth Testing and Treatment?
Growth doesn’t last forever,
understanding bone maturity
before the growth plates close is essential.
Girls’ growth accelerates
around ages 8–9, and boys around 10–11.
The best time
for growth testing and treatment is
before the growth plates close-
around 11 for girls and 13 for boys.
