Patient's question:
A 15-year-old girl is only 154 cm tall; her weight is 96 jin; both of her parents are not tall; but her aunt is about 167 cm tall; both parents are worried that their child won't grow taller; she hasn't grown taller in a year; the child herself also hopes to grow to 167 cm. Among her peers, she is shorter, which has led to a sense of inferiority. How can she grow taller?Doctor's answer:
According to your situation, to fully develop your height potential, 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 regular physical exercise. It is recommended to have a thorough examination of your growth plates first. If the growth plates are about to close but have not fully closed, you may consider using growth hormone in the short term. However, you must act quickly now. Opportunity knocks but once! If used too early, it may lead to premature closure of the growth plates, interfering with your final height.
