Can I Still Increase Height After 20?
Patient's Query
Height increasing after 20 years of age
Answered by Dr. Babita Goel
It is quite normal to stop growing in height after your teenage years. Most people have usually reached full growth by the time they are twenty years old. Some rare cases may continue to produce growth hormones and grow taller even as adults. Still, this happens very infrequently. If you are worried about being too short, talk to a doctor who can help you understand better what is going on.

I am 18 year old .abd I am doing my graduation but still my height is 5.2 fit how can I increase my height
Male | 18
At 18, your bones are nearly done growing, so a significant increase in height is unlikely. However, focusing on good nutrition, regular exercise, and proper posture can help you make the most of your height. It's also a good idea to consult an endocrinologist to check if everything is okay with your growth hormones.

150 cm and my height hasn't grown since two years ,never had growth spurt,had puberty at the age of 11 ,both my parents and siblings have good height.
Female | 16
It's important to understand that growth patterns vary greatly among individuals. Factors like genetics, nutrition, and hormonal changes play significant roles in height development. If you've not seen any increase in stature after puberty, it may indicate that your growth plates have closed, which is a normal part of development. Ensuring a balanced diet rich in nutrients and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can support overall well-being. However, I recommend consulting a pediatrician who can assess your situation thoroughly and determine if there are any underlying issues that need to be addressed. ]

Male | 21
By the age of 21, your bones have mostly finished developing, and your height is largely determined by genetics. At this point, increasing your height further is unlikely. However, maintaining a balanced diet, regular exercise and sufficient sleep can help you reach your maximum potential height.

I'm 18 yr old, I'm 5"7 but I'm so skinny and thin, weighing around 40kg as a male. Can you please help me regarding that situation
Male | 18
Sometimes being underweight is a result of a rapid metabolism, not taking enough calories, or the gravity of health issues. In adolescence with the growth processes such as puberty, it is normal for some young adults to face the situation of this. On the other hand, You can achieve this healthy goal by eating more density-improved foods like nuts, avocados, whole grains, and lean meat. Try the strength exercises that will foster muscle growth. You can also consult a dietician for more advice.

Being extremely thin at 29 years old might worry you. Your fast metabolism could burn calories quickly. Or, you may not consume enough food. Health problems can also affect weight. To gain pounds, eat calorie-rich foods like nuts, avocados, nut butter. Work with a nutritionist. They'll make a meal plan just for gaining weight. Weight gain needs to happen slowly and healthily.

I am 16 year old I am only 5.1 inch I want to increase my height so please tell me medicine for height growth which have no side effects
Male | 16
Beginning 16 years old and 5.1 inches high, it's a common desire to want to grow more. It is mostly an inherited trait to a large extent, and therefore you don't require any special drugs to fix the problem of short height. Having a balanced diet, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly can support growth. To repeat, one needs to remember that adolescents grow at different rates.

Male | 18
At your age, a good and regular diet mechanism is the most important in formulation and weight enhancement. Concentrate on eating foods that are good for you. This is a process that involves more than one part. Try eggs and lean meats apart from whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Besides, working through the strength training process is crucial too. First, make sure you consume enough energy to carry out the activities. Bear in mind that the kind of bones you get also largely depends on the genes that you inherit from your parents, and it’s these healthy habits that will take you to your highest divide.

Hi doctor i am A 14 year old male who is confused about he’s going through puberty or not basically my father is 3 inches shorter than I am already and I am 14. My puberty started when I was around 12 and that age I was about the same as as my father, so I am confused that maybe my height has stopped growing and might might stop and I might have grown like maybe one centimeter in the past few months so I’m confused about my height growth. I’m currently 5 foot 10 and my father is 5 foot seven so when is my puberty going to end? Experienced about armpit hair three months ago and they are growinf very slowly like 1cm in 3 months and only some hair war 1cm and some were even half cm small facial hair little bit here on my chin about three months ago, and it isn’t growing at all since that time.
Male | 14
It's normal to feel confused about growth during puberty. Since you're 14 and already taller than your father, your height can still increase as puberty continues into late teens. The slow growth of armpit and facial hair is also normal. For personalized advice, I recommend visiting an endocrinologist, who specializes in growth and puberty-related issues.

Female | 32
Experiencing a growth spurt as an adult can be surprising and even concerning. If you've noticed an increase in height, it’s important to consult a doctor. Hormonal imbalances or bone disorders could be the cause. A physician can help identify the issue and recommend an appropriate solution.

If you eat a lot but still can’t gain weight, maybe you have a high metabolism. But sometimes hyperthyroidism or other medical conditions can do that too. You should see a doctor to find out what’s going on. Then they can give you some advice and help with that.

Keep a weight of 63 to 83 kilos if you are 5"11' tall. Health issues are likely to crop up when a person is outside of this range. Use of excess weight may be the reason for tiredness, joint pain, and high blood pressure. Causes could be less exercise and bad dietary choices. To the point, the good way is to eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly to be able to stay within the healthy weight range.

I have noticed little bit height growth in the past few months possibly 1 cm
Male | 14
Hello! It seems you’re worried about how tall you will get and when puberty will end. It’s natural to feel insecure. Puberty normally stops around 18 for boys when they’ve had all the major growth spurts that can make them taller than ever before. If you’ve only started noticing yourself growing in height lately then this might mean your body is still changing because of puberty. Keep eating well, sleeping enough and exercising so your growth can be supported!

Height increasing capsules for increasing capsules
Female | 15
Capsules improving health are still not a thing. The fundamentals of the height physical variables are inherited from genes, most of them given by the parents. Nutrition, exercise, and sleep, on the other hand, can positively influence your growth potential. While eating a nutritious diet, exercising regularly, and getting enough sleep can be good factors of your full height potential.
