Patient's question:
How can a 17-year-old boy with short stature be helped? He has not undergone any other treatment. What should the doctor do? His current height is about 155 cm. Treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been done. What kind of help do you want to get: Want the child to grow tallerDoctor's answer:
Many teenagers experience delayed growth, so don't assume that TV advertisements are mostly misleading. According to medical experts' research, among children and adolescents of the same age and gender, those who frequently engage in physical exercise are, on average, 4-8 centimeters taller than those who are inactive. Some may even be taller by more. The most effective exercises include the parallel bars, cycling, ice skating, rings, gymnastics, basketball, and pull-ups. This is because rotation stretches muscles and ligaments, stimulating cartilage growth; ice skating allows the entire body to be fully stretched and exercised; and pull-ups can stretch the spine, promote the growth of vertebrae, thereby continuously increasing the height of teenagers.
