Patient's question:
I heard online that whether you can grow taller depends on whether your growth plates have closed, and it's recommended to check with a doctor first. But before going to the hospital, I'd like to get a basic understanding of what symptoms indicate if the growth plates have closed. Doctor, do you know what growth plates are and how to check if they've closed?Doctor's answer:
Here I couldn't see the specific film, so I can't make a conclusion. You can take it to a orthopedic doctor, who will tell you if the growth plates have closed. If the growth plates have already closed, there is no more room for growth. If they haven't closed, there is still some room for growth. Normally, take calcium supplements, drink high-calcium milk, and strengthen jumping exercises. Eat a well-rounded and diverse diet, avoid picky eating, and ensure adequate sleep, avoiding staying up late.
