Patient's question:
I'm only 152 cm, my mom is 155 cm, and my dad is 170 cm. I got my period in 2008 and have only grown 1 cm this year. How can I be this short? When is the best time to get my bone age measured? Is it effective to take growth hormone?Doctor's answer:
To fully tap into your growth potential, you should consume 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 that you visit a hospital for a thorough examination of your growth plates. If your growth plates are closing but not yet fully fused, growth hormone can be used in the short term.
