Is It Possible To Increase Height At The Age Of 19?
Question: my height does not grow ..... i want to increase my height as soon as i m 19 years old
Brief Answer:
not possible
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Height stops gaining in males around 15 years.
After 19 it is unlikely to increase significantly.
This is normal nature of the body.
If you are really short consult an endocrinologist to get your growth hormone checked.
If it is low you may benefit from growth hormone injections.
Wishing you good health.
