My son is 13 yrs 7 mths old and just only 5 ft. According to recent bone x-ray report his bone age is 13.67 yeras and height prediction is 166.8 cm. My doctor says it is required for GNRH ANALOG because his growth of puberty is too fast like pubic hair, testicles growth, mustache appearance and voice break is fast. Doctor also suggested GH AND GNRH COMBINED THERAPY. I am worried about it because I don't know about its side effect and it's efficiency. Plz help me

If your son is 13 yr old then I don't think he should be treated with GNRH and growth hormone. I advise you to go for second opinion by qualified endocrinologist I.e DM or DNB Endocrinology degree holder.
There is no reason to treat a child with GNRH whose bone age is equal to his chronological age and whose predicted height is 166 cm. Please go for second opinion.
