Is It Possible To Increase Height After Twenties?
Question: My height didn't increase from the agree of 15. Now I'm 23 with 163 cm.Is there any possibility to increase height? I'm feeling depressed due to the same. Is there any reliable medicine without sideeffects?
Brief Answer:
Further Natural height gain may not be possible.
Detailed Answer:
Good day
noted your concern. Height of a person is genetically determined which is achieved by the influence of many hormones and other factors. Usually in a male the growing ends of bones fuse by around 18 to 20 years and beyond this age, there are very less chances of natural growth. However there are surgical techniques available to increase the height.This technique is not widely available though.
