Patient's question:
1 year old, height 163 cm, haven't grown taller for many years. Father is 168 cm, mother is 156 cm. Really hope to grow much taller. It is said that massage the Yongquan acupoint can help with growing taller, what exactly should I do? I have tried every possible method to grow taller than 170 cm. Previous treatment history and effects: None. What kind of help is desired: Hope the doctor can help me, I will be eternally grateful!Doctor's answer:
Since you haven't grown taller in over ten years, it may indicate that the epiphyses have already fused, or there is a lack of growth hormone. Given your age, the epiphyses have likely fused, making it impossible to grow taller, even if you massage the Yongquan acupoint. You should still go to an internal medicine department in a Grade III-A hospital for a check-up. If the doctor confirms that there is no possibility of growing taller, then don't waste your energy. If the doctor tells you that you can still grow taller, follow the doctor's guidance for treatment.
