Patient's question:
My height is 170 cm, which is considered quite short in college. However, I don't feel like I'm growing anymore. In my senior year of high school, I was still growing about 3 cm per year, but now it seems to have stopped.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to conduct a thorough examination of the growth plates. If the growth plates are about to close but have not fully closed, growth hormone can be used in the short term. You should eat more vegetables, high-protein foods, high-quality protein foods, and foods rich in calcium and zinc to prevent picky eating. Ensure adequate rest time and quality. Engage in more physical exercises, such as jumping rope and basketball. If the growth plates have already scarred, you can undergo leg lengthening surgery at a reputable hospital.
