Patient's question:
At 12, I grew one year to 1.57 meters, and after that, I didn't grow another centimeter. Is that normal? What kind of assistance do you need: Do I have to get bone age measured? What could be the reasons?Doctor's answer:
It might still grow taller. Some people are still growing at 25. I suggest you go to the hospital for a detailed examination of the epiphysis. If the epiphysis is going to fuse but hasn't fully fused, you can use growth hormone in the short term. However, you must act quickly now. Opportunity knocks but once! If used too early, it may cause the epiphysis to fuse prematurely, interfering with your final height.Recommendation: You should also pay attention to the fact that sleeping late can also interfere with growth and development. Be mindful that the peak excretion of growth hormone is between 9 PM and 11 PM each day. Additionally, you must ensure sufficient rest time and quality.
