Patient's question:

19 years old, current height is only 168 cm. What photos show bone closure, and how much does it cost?
Treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been received. What kind of help do you want: How can I grow taller?

Doctor's answer:

Your current situation You are already an adult in terms of age. At this time, considering your potential for further growth is very small, and generally you will not grow taller. However, if you want to diagnose whether you have the potential to grow taller again, you can go to the hospital for a detailed examination and take some X-rays. If the epiphyses have fused, it means you cannot grow taller again. If they have not fused, you still have the potential to grow taller. The cost is just a few dozen yuan. Wish you good health.
