Hi,
Welcome to HCM!
I understand your concern.

However, you must understand that boys grow only upto 18-19 years of age. After that, it is not possible to increase height.

You must have come across several advertisements which promise to increase your height. They are mostly hormonal medications which have very less chance of increasing your height but will almost certainly cause severral hormonal problems in your body.

I'd advice you to accept what your height is and not to try such medications., unless you want to land up with other serious complications.

Hope this information helps. Feel free to ask if you have any other doubts.

Wishing you the best.
Regards,
Dr. Sridhar
