Patient's question:
Height: 150 cmTime of onset: N/A
Laboratory test results: N/A
Previous treatment history and effectiveness: I am 20 years old. Only 150 cm tall. The doctor said that I can increase my height through leg bone surgery. This surgery was originally intended to correct a crooked leg bone.
Is the risk of this surgery high? Besides, where can I have this surgery done?
Doctor's answer:
To reflect growth potential, you should eat more vegetables, high-protein foods, high-quality protein foods, and calcium-rich foods, as well as zinc-rich foods. To prevent picky eating. Ensure sufficient rest time and quality. Engage in more physical exercise. It is recommended to have a thorough examination of the growth plates at the hospital. If the growth plates are about to close but not fully closed, growth hormone can be used in the short term. However, it is crucial to act quickly now.
