Patient's question:
Daughter is currently 15 years old (13.9 years old). Current height is 145cm. Hasn't grown much in a year. Menarche occurred at the age of 10.8 years, with a height of 137cm at that time. Bone age check showed it was 2 years older than actual age. The doctor said there is little growth space left. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Long-term activities such as height increase, high jump, weightlifting, swimming, etc., can indeed promote height growth. We believe: For short children with a significant distance between their epiphyses, if doctors determine they do not suffer from short stature, and there are no other medical contraindications, they should bravely initiate specialized height-increasing exercise training guidelines. However, it is worth noting that the onboarding training should be orderly and gradual. In the initial stage, especially, avoid rushing and overdoing it. Pay attention to your self-feeling. If there is any discomfort, consult a doctor and a physical education teacher.
