Patient's question:
1 year old, height 163 cm, haven't grown taller for many years. Father is 168 cm, mother is 156 cm. Really hope to grow much taller. It is said that massage the Yongquan acupoint can help with growing taller, what exactly should I do? I have tried every possible method to grow taller than 170 cm. Previous treatment history and effects: None. What kind of help is desired: Hope the doctor can help me, I will be extremely grateful!Doctor's answer:
Since you haven't grown taller in over ten years, it may indicate that your epiphyses have already fused, or you may be lacking growth hormone. Given your age, it's likely that your epiphyses have fused, making it impossible to grow taller. Even massaging the Yongquan acupoint won't help. You should still go to an internal medicine department at a Grade III-A hospital for a check-up. If the doctor confirms that there's no possibility of growing taller, don't waste your time. If the doctor tells you that you can still grow, follow the doctor's guidance for treatment.
