At 20, only 157 cm, will I still grow taller?

Patient's question:

No、、、

Doctor's answer:

The growth of the long bone epiphyseal plate cartilage is the foundation of human height increase, and the growth of the epiphyseal plate cartilage is completed under the synergistic action of various hormones in the human body, including growth hormone and thyroid hormone. Among them, the main driving force for promoting the division and proliferation of chondrocytes is growth hormone, which is secreted by the human pituitary gland, promotes cartilage growth, widens the epiphyseal plate, and plays a leading role in human height increase.
