Hi ChocoCappuccino,
How are you doing? I just turn 20 years old and is a male, 5'8" and 160 lbs. I haven't grew an inch since the age of 17. What are the chances I will grow 1- 3 inches. My father is 5' 7" and my mother is 5' 2". The reason for my father being that short was because he hadn't eat the right nutritious way like he's suppose to. However, for me on the other hand, I am eating healthy! I want to be a legit 5'10 to 5'11". Any hope or thoughts ChocoCappuccino?

Hi chocoCappuccino, how are you doing? Hope you are trying your best to gain some height; it is better to get counseled and see the possibilities of height growth. Family history is important and sees if only you are below the average height for your age? Here is some useful information regarding the height, which can be helpful to you. Go through this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_height It is better you consult an endocrinologist and ortho doctor and discuss the options. Keep updating your thoughts. Take care
oh.. icic hmm.. pain?..but it is costly i guess?.. well.. hais.. i don't know what i can do to gain height.. =(( its been bothering me for quite some time already.. you know.. like,those around u are much taller than u.. hais.. and drinking milk with more exercise doesn't help now i guess..? i'm already 17 this year.. i'm quite afraid about the future.. where i'll be working outside there..then i will have to reach certain height.. is that still possible now for me..? i'm only 1.41cm..
yes thereis a possibility and it's called Ilizarov,basically what this treatment does is a specialized surgeon breaks the bone then insert sticks through to promote bone formation ,two friends of mine had it ,one for medical reasons and other to gain height,both are happy with the result. Take care and hope this info help.
heys..JainMD,its been a long time since i last typed here.. i have consulted an endocrinologist,and she says that i have like.. no chances of growing taller already.. =( which was quite saddeing for me.. well.. i would really like to grow tall.. have you got any more advices for me? .. why can my siblings be tall but not me.. well, 'cept for me wanting to grow taller, another reason is that i would like to work in a lab. in future.. which perharps need to attain a certain height.. is there anything i can do to grow taller.. =/ pls help..
reply asap.. thanks..
reply asap.. thanks..
Hi,
I am sorry to say but at this age, milk is not going to help you gain height.
Yes you are right in saying that it would increase the bone density and would help in stabilizing the bone and its joint.
I think without getting into more discussion you should consult an endocrinologist at earliest.
Hope this helps in some way.

Beside of going to see Endocrinologist, is there another way for me to get taller? I heard that if you drink alot of milks then you will get taller? Is that true or not? I know that milk also help your bones, but I wonder if it still could help me to get taller by this age of mine?
Thanks for your information and your advice, I will try to go to see Endocrinologist.
Yup. i agree with what JainMD says. I'm a 17yr old female whose height is just 1.43cm.. and my friends were taller than me in school. ..hmm.. i wanted to grow tall too. but well.. ya,most of it depends on our own genes.. but however,if you really want,you can consult an Endocrinologist and discuss about this problem. As for me,i have had an appointment with an Endocrinologist on 28th March this year.. which is a few weeks from now.. i'll see what my Endocrinologist says.. then,i would post it down here after that.. (:
Hi,
Your height with reference to your parent’s height could be maximum 161-162 cm’s. You need to consult an Endocrinologist for a possible intervention with help of growth hormone therapy.
I think you should consult an Endocrinologist and discuss regarding the possible intervention.
This is an appropriate time as you are already 18 years, older than this the epiphyseal ends in long bone would fuse causing difficulty for a possible intervention.
Keep me posted with your thoughts.

Hi,
How are you feeling?
I thought you are engrossed in some serious where in you have forgotten about your health.
You can get evaluated at pre-determined date and time by an Endocrinologist and let me know the findings.
Meanwhile you can read about short stature and treatment options available for same.
You can put up a private message and also post on this forum, either ways you can reach me.
Keep me posted.

Hi,
What should I address you? What is your name?
What happened to your appointment and have you been evaluated still? If yes, then what did the doctor say?
Keep me informed as I am interested to know.

Hi,
How are you feeling? What happened to your appointment?
I would like you to meet a Pediatric Endocrinologist. I think that specialty might guide you better.
What are you doing?
I am a physician who also specializes in Pediatrics.
I am from India. Once you been seen and medications planned regarding hormonal therapy, get back to me we can plan your medicine. I think it is cheaper here though I am not sure.
Keep me informed if you have any queries.

Hi,
I agree to what Ghost has posted.
I am not sure what could be the cost of hormonal therapy. Which part of the world you are staying in?
I am sorry but I have discussed with the best available treatment for your growth.
Keep me informed if you have any queries.

You still have time to grow. Not to tell you what to do or anything, but you should be happy with who you are. Height wont make you a better person. Just because your friends may be taller this should not influence your decisions about growing taller or for hormonal therapy. There are many things that can go wrong with this kind of treatment. Make a wise choice and think about this for a while. If you still feel that by getting taller your life would be better then by all means go ahead.
ok thanks.. ermm... but do you raftly know what is the cost for the hormonal therapy??around how much?? hmm.. yup i am going to see an endocrinologist at 28th of march this year.. but is there no medications that i can take for growing??
Hi,
I am sorry I was not able to reply early. How are you? What is your name?
Yes, back to your queries.
You would reach a height approximately 1.5 or 1.6+ unless we intervene. What I mean to say by that is unless you are started on hormonal therapy you would not reach a height of 1.6 or more.
You have attained your menarche around 5 years back, so once you attained menarche the height won’t be increasing much after that as the growing end of the bones start fusing.
You can meet Pediatric Endocrinologist to start growth hormone therapy. Yes they are costly, but affordable.
In your case if we had started your treatment when you were 11, there would have been some guarantee, but now it is doubtful.
Girls stop growing around 60% when they attain there menarche and after menarche they continue to grow but at a slower rate.
Keep me informed if you have any queries.

Yes,i've attained menarche.. since i was in primary 5.. which is around 11yrs old.. hmm,well my mum's height is about 1.5+ cm then my dad's height is about 1.7+ cm i guess.. 'cause my parents have forgotten what was their height as it's been a long time since they measured themselves.. my elder sis and bro were tall in the family.. but not me.. =/ ..
Hormonal Therapy? what's that?need to pay a huge amount of money for it? .. but is it guarantee that after people have done the Hormonal Therapy,and they really does grow taller?
And.. when do girls stop growing?i heard from my friends.. they say that girls stop growing in the age 18.. =/
but some of them says we will continue to grow but in a slower rate.. hmm..

Hi,
What is your name?
I can understand what you might be feeling if you are short height amongst your peer group. But you have to understand that if you have good height that alone won't make you qualified to be a social person.
External characteristics are not the only reasons a person becomes social.
Regarding your issue, I would like to know what is your mom's height and Dad's height, as you would be having height which is average of sum of your parent’s height minus 13 cm.
There is hormonal therapy which can assist you in gaining height, but that needs to be started early.
Have you attained your menarche? If yes, since how long?
Keep me informed.
