Height increasing after 20 years of age
Male | 20
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'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.

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.

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!

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.

Getting your height up to 170cm is not an easy process. Genetics is the main factor in determining human height. Following a healthy diet, enough rest if possible, and regular exercise are the ways of helping you to reach your genetic height potential.

I am 14 year old and how can I grow bigger
Male | 14
It's important to understand that during adolescence, many experience growth spurts. To support this development, a well-balanced diet including carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, and minerals is essential. Adequate sleep also plays a crucial role, as it is during this period that the body grows. Engaging in regular physical activity is equally important. By maintaining these practices, you may notice significant growth over time.

What is the good weight to maintain when my height is 5"11' ?
Male | 25
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.

Male | 18
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.

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.

Male | 25
Yes, of course, losing the weight you want is possible but the method that you are going to use is not the best idea. Underweight can be attributed to various factors such as high metabolism, an imbalanced diet, and certain diseases. For instead, replace your present food habits with the food items such as fruits, vegetables, lean meat, and whole grains. Also, don't forget about physical activity: it is also a good way to put on muscles. If any ambiguities arise do not hesitate to consult the dietitian to receive the exclusive instructions for your case.

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.

The thing is though that how tall we become mainly depends on the genes we inherit from our parents.

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.
