Side Effects and Dangers of HGH are typically experienced when the drug is abused. One should avoid HGH if they have a family history of cancer or an individual has active cancer.
It can be dangerous to a patient who has cancer since it stimulates cell production and regeneration. When HGH is abuse it can also cause less production of HGH by the pituitary gland for a while, the duration is dependent on the person’s lifestyle and the level of abuse.
Robert Butler, M.D., a Gerontologist have said that despite of the positive results provided by HGH treatment, it can also cause negative side effects in the form of risk for cancer, cardiovascular disease, and behaviour changes.
Though regulated and supervised growth hormone therapy can also cause few side effects.
It can cause overproduction of IGF-1 concentrations
This will lead to some serious side effects like diabetes, general bloating, swelling in arms and legs. Acromegaly it is a disorder that is caused by the excessive production of growth hormone it leads to a change in physical appearance such as protruding jaw and eyebrow bones.
People with acromegaly usually experience enlarged hands and feet as signs, people with this disorder often notice that they can no longer put on rings, change in shoes size and many more.
Hypoglycaemia or low blood sugar
It is a condition where the level of sugar or glucose in your body drops down. This may occur in the starting or ending the HGH cycle or when changing the dose.
It is manifested by a sudden “hunger attack”.
Hypoglycaemia is noticeable mostly right after a physical activity. This can last up to 2 week after HGH cycle has been ended.
Carpal tunnel syndrome

Other symptoms include tingling and numbness that most often occur in the index finger, thumb, and middle finger, half of the ring finger or repetitive strain in the wrist area during exercise.
This effect is just temporary it will go away when the dosage is lowered or after stopping the cycle. As long as the pain is bearable the patient can still continue taking their normal HGH cycle.
This effect is a common issue during initial cycles but will be gone especially after the wrist have adapted and the carpal is barely noticeable.
Water retention
It is a particular and a common side effect of HGH that usually diminished after several weeks of use. At doses of 4IU and above, patients will notice either a swollen face or a little fuller.
