I am 19 years old and only 162 cm tall. Can I still grow taller?

Patient's question:

Is there still a chance?

Doctor's answer:

The puberty of most boys typically lasts from 13 to 14 years old to 18 to 20 years old. Puberty is the second growth spurt. To determine whether you can still grow taller, you need to have a wrist joint X-ray taken to examine the epiphyseal plates. If the epiphyseal plates have not fused, you can still grow taller. Pay attention to regular eating habits, ensure a balanced diet, get adequate rest, maintain a positive mood, engage in appropriate exercise, and enhance your immunity.
