Patient's question:
Is the epiphyseal plate closed? Then what is the sign that adolescents stop growing? Who can help answer this?Doctor's answer:
Whether the epiphyseal plate is closed is directly related to whether it can grow taller. If it is not closed, it may still grow taller. It is recommended to have an X-ray examination of the knee joint at the hospital to determine if the epiphyseal plate is closed. If it is not closed, pay attention to diet and nutrition, and strengthen physical exercise to help growth and development. Height depends on genetic factors, nutritional status, and health status. Lifestyle factors determine whether height-raising drugs can solve height problems caused by malnutrition such as calcium deficiency. If your epiphyseal plate has not closed, it can still grow very tall. First, pay attention to nutrition, diet, calcium, vitamins, etc., drink more bone soup, eat more vegetables, etc.; second, persist in exercise, moderate regular exercise is very helpful for increasing height.
