Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you want to know about treatment for height growth. Height is determined by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Human growth is regulated by somatotropin secreted by anterior pituitary gland . Regular yoga practice and exercises are known to help in improvement of the posture and ease tension in the body which, in turn, can help make a person taller. Several yoga positions can help to maximize these effects. There are many pills, injections etc available through internet which claim to increase your height. Their effect is doubtful and there can also be side effects , so avoid them. Drinking milk , stretching and proper sleep can increase your height as the secretion of growth hormone is increased during the sleep specially in the early morning hours. So take healthy diet , proper sleep and do regular exercises .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
