Patient's question:
Male, 20 years old, both parents are close to 170 cm tall. I am 168 cm tall barefoot. Is it possible to grow to 175 cm? Please ask what method to use. I heard that hospitals can also stretch leg bones.Doctor's answer:
At the age of 20, it is generally unlikely for height to increase significantly. It usually remains within a range of 3 to 5 centimeters. Regarding your parents' height and your current height, it aligns well with the law of generational inheritance, and there is no issue. Additionally, at 18 years old, bone growth lines are typically mostly closed, making significant height increases highly unlikely. As for stretching bones, I haven't heard of this method. The above advice is for the question "I am 20 years old and want to grow 10 cm taller—is it possible?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
