Patient's question:
I am 21 years old, 165 cm tall and slightly underweight, weighing only 50 kg. Due to my body shape, I have some self-esteem issues, and I hope to find effective methods to completely overcome this kind of trouble.Previous treatment history and effectiveness: None.
Type of help desired: I hope to help resolve my confusion about being short in stature.
Doctor's answer:
Since you are already 21 years old, even if the growth plates have not fused, they should have reached the point of fusion. Therefore, the remaining potential for growth may not be significant.Advice: It is recommended to have X-rays of your growth plates taken at a regular hospital to confirm whether they have not fused. If they have not fused, it is advisable to take appropriate calcium supplements and pay attention to increasing physical activity, such as ice skating or playing basketball. If necessary, growth hormone therapy may be considered.
The above advice is for the question "What methods are most effective for growing taller." It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
