Patient's question:
Currently 12 years old, experiencing early puberty, and developed at the age of 11. Then I noticed I haven't grown in height for a year. I am now 152 cm tall. Can I still grow taller? If so, what methods should I use?Past treatment history and effectiveness: Previously, I did not pay attention to how early puberty could lead to stunted growth.
Doctor's answer:
It does not affect it. Whether height can be satisfactory depends on several factors. Firstly, genetic factors account for 70%. Additionally, it depends on other conditions, including exercise, nutrition, environment, and social factors, etc. It is recommended to have an epiphyseal plate examination at the hospital. If it has not healed, there is an opportunity for growth. You should participate more in activities suitable for height increase and brain development, such as jumping rope, playing shuttlecock, skipping rope, artistic gymnastics, and various ball games, etc. You should also supplement foods rich in calcium and phosphorus, such as milk, dried shrimp, soy products, ribs, bone broth, kelp, and nori, etc. You can also achieve the best effect of height increase by organically combining auxiliary treatment with height-increasing products and exercise.
