Brief Answer:
Height cannot be decreased but future increase in height can be controlled
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.
1. Growing taller than normal height might be due to increase production of growth hormone.
2. Normally humans grow until 21 years of age when the ends of the bones get fused and the person stops growing.
3. It is not possible to decrease height for you but I suggest you immediately consult an endocrinologist doctor to know if your body is secreting high amount of growth hormone and if it is abnormal.
4. Detecting any abnormal increase in growth and treating it right now will control any more increase and treat your condition. The endocrinologist is a doctor who is a specialist in diseases of hormones and growth disturbances.
5. In conclusion, decreasing the height is not possible but you should consult the endocrinologist and confirm if you have any abnormal condition that might be treated.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
Regards,
Dr.Vivek
