How to treat slow growth and always want to grow taller

Patient's question:

14 years old, 162cm, slow growth, after the age of 12, an average of 1cm in height per year. I want to ask how to stabilize it. If you want to grow taller and have been growing slowly, how is it usually treated?

Doctor's answer:

Height is influenced by a variety of factors, including hereditary genetic predispositions and postnatal nutrition. It is recommended to adopt a proper diet, maintain balanced nutrition, digest vitamins and trace elements, and engage in moderate physical exercise to maximize height potential.
In addition, during the treatment for growth retardation, in addition to immediate medical intervention, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must maintain a light diet while consistently keeping a cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary negative impacts on the recovery from growth retardation.
