Patient's question:
I've been wearing a height increase pad for almost a year. Will my calves get thicker? Recently, I feel like my calves are a bit thick. I'm in my teens with a height of 160 cm. Can I still grow taller? Please let me know what I can do to grow taller. Is there a doctor who can sincerely answer me?Doctor's answer:
Hello, after reading your description, if you are in your teens and are 160 cm tall. I suggest you go to a local hospital for an X-ray to check the fusion of the epiphyseal lines of the long bones. If they haven't fully fused, you can still grow taller. It's best to go to bed before 11 p.m., as this helps with the secretion of growth hormone. Eat more high-calcium, high-protein foods. Get more sun to enhance calcium absorption. You can also do activities like jumping rope and playing basketball to keep the bone cells active. If you can consistently do these things, it will help you grow taller. Thicker calves are generally not very related to height pads.
