Concerns about height can stem from various factors, such as genetics, hormonal levels, or nutritional issues. Common signs might include feeling self-conscious or frustration with your stature. It's important to know that growth potential often continues until the late teens. A balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, regular exercise, and adequate sleep can support healthy growth. However, if you’re feeling particularly concerned, I encourage you to consult a physician. They can offer tailored advice and explore if any underlying factors need attention.

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 am 19 years old and I am just 4'9 feet I want grow my height more 4 inches can u tell how I can reach 4 inches plzzz
Female | 19
At 19 and 4'9, you can still grow some as your body is still developing. Genetics are the main factor in the height of a person, thus, if your parents are short, you will, too. Consuming a balanced diet containing calcium and protein can promote the proper development of bones. Besides good postures, and activities like stretching and yoga, physical exercise can also aid the proper development of your bone length.

I'm 19 about height growth need to talk
Male | 19
When you turn 19, the things that you eat and the genes of your parents are some things to be careful about because these factors are among the things that are influencing your growth in height. If height is a primary concern for you, you should first check whether your development is slow or not and if you are experiencing problems like feeling unusual among others. Make sure you eat, in a balanced way, food abundant with minerals and vitamins, as this is absolutely crucial for growth in a natural progression. On top of these, regular exercise and an ample sleep time are also key factors that are beneficial for good health. If you have a specific issue, I would rather advise you to talk to a doctor who will give you individualized pieces of advice and check for other causes. Certainly, the effort you have made in finding information is really commendable!

I am 16 years old girl, my height is 4'9 how can i get taller? Any supplements or medicine suggestions? Please suggest one medicine because I have tried everything possible which can naturally make me taller..but it didn't really work
Female | 16
At 16, it's understandable to wish for a taller stature. Growth is influenced by genetics, nutrition, and overall health. While you might explore various options, it's vital to focus on a balanced diet rich in calcium, vitamin D, and protein, which support bone health. Unfortunately, there’s no specific medicine to guarantee an increase in height. I recommend consulting a healthcare professional who can guide you through personalized strategies and check your growth potential based on your unique situation.

I am a 14 year old male and i am confused am i going through puberty or ended it because they say that when height is stopped growing ouberty ends and i am already 3 inches taller than my father at this age and when i started puberty around 12 my height was almost same as my father so how when is it going ti end? 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!

how can i get longer in height i am 23 years old and i want to increase my height what can i do please help me
Male | 23
At 23 years old, it's unlikely you'll see a significant height increase since growth plates generally close after puberty. You should consult an endocrinologist to discuss any potential growth issues. Additionally, focusing on a balanced diet, regular exercise, and good posture may help you make the most of your height.

Height too short in the age of 20
Male | 20
Worrying about your height at 20 is normal. If you feel shorter than friends, here are the facts: Genes mainly determine height. But poor diet, lack of sleep, or health issues can also affect it. You might notice others being taller, making you self-conscious. Eating nutritious food, getting enough rest, and exercising can help maximize height potential.

I am 25 years old boy i want to gain my weight. My weight is only 48kg kindly suggest to me some medicine to gain weight.
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.

It's completely normal for people to be shorter or taller than their parents. Several things, including genetics and nutrition, can affect how tall someone is.

Male | 24
Being underweight can leave you feeling tired, with weak muscles and low immunity. A common reason for this is not getting enough vital nutrients from your food. To gain weight healthily, increase your calorie intake from healthy sources such as fruits, vegetables, proteins, and whole grains. However, it's important to consult a dietitian for personalized guidance.

At 117 pounds, 6 feet tall, your weight seems low. Eating balanced meals - fruits, veggies, proteins - helps. Exercise like walking, and playing a sport also boosts health too. If concerned, talk to a dietitian or doctor.

The thing is though that how tall we become mainly depends on the genes we inherit from our parents. If you are still young and growing, it may be possible for you to maximize your height by ensuring that you sleep well, and eat foods rich in calcium and proteins while also doing exercises regularly.

Female | 23
One reason for your challenges in gaining weight might be a high metabolism, stress, a bad diet, or a health issue. It is ideal to visit a doctor to determine the root of the problem. They will suggest a dietitian, who would be able to help you find ways to consume healthy foods that will help you in increasing your weight on a gradual basis. Medicines are generally not recommended for weight maintenance. Rather than only thinking about weight goals, concentrate on the intake of fruit, vegetables, whole grains, and protein which contribute to weight strengthening and may enhance it. Lean gaining should be looked at from a healthy perspective, and the best way forward is the help of health professionals.

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.

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.

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.
