Is my height growth during puberty normal at 14?

Hi doctor i am A 14 year old male who is confused about he’s going through puberty or not basically my father is 3 inches shorter than I am already and I am 14. My puberty started when I was around 12 and that age I was about the same as as my father, so I am confused that maybe my height has stopped growing and might might stop and I might have grown like maybe one centimeter in the past few months so I’m confused about my height growth. I’m currently 5 foot 10 and my father is 5 foot seven so when is my puberty going to end? Experienced about armpit hair three months ago and they are growinf very slowly like 1cm in 3 months and only some hair war 1cm and some were even half cm small facial hair little bit here on my chin about three months ago, and it isn’t growing at all since that time.

It's normal to feel confused about growth during puberty. Since you're 14 and already taller than your father, your height can still increase as puberty continues into late teens. The slow growth of armpit and facial hair is also normal. For personalized advice, I recommend visiting an endocrinologist, who specializes in growth and puberty-related issues.

I am 14 year old and how can I grow bigger

Male | 14

It's important to understand that during adolescence, many experience growth spurts. To support this development, a well-balanced diet including carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, and minerals is essential. Adequate sleep also plays a crucial role, as it is during this period that the body grows. Engaging in regular physical activity is equally important. By maintaining these practices, you may notice significant growth over time.

Sir I am 18 years old. My height is increased but my weight is not increase. I am the thinnest boy of my village. I eat lot of food but my weight is not increase what should I do

Male | 18

If you eat a lot but still can’t gain weight, maybe you have a high metabolism. But sometimes hyperthyroidism or other medical conditions can do that too. You should see a doctor to find out what’s going on. Then they can give you some advice and help with that.

I'm 23 year old, iam a woman,I couldn't able to gain weight my weight is only 39 kg ,I want to gain weight what should I do or which medicine should I take so that I can gain weight, please prescribed me a good medicine to gain weight.

Female | 23

One reason for your challenges in gaining weight might be a high metabolism, stress, a bad diet, or a health issue. It is ideal to visit a doctor to determine the root of the problem. They will suggest a dietitian, who would be able to help you find ways to consume healthy foods that will help you in increasing your weight on a gradual basis. Medicines are generally not recommended for weight maintenance. Rather than only thinking about weight goals, concentrate on the intake of fruit, vegetables, whole grains, and protein which contribute to weight strengthening and may enhance it. Lean gaining should be looked at from a healthy perspective, and the best way forward is the help of health professionals.

I have a height issue my height is 5.3 ft i want to increase a height for a good looking. Do you have any treatment for my height.my age 21 now.

Male | 21

By the age of 21, your bones have mostly finished developing, and your height is largely determined by genetics. At this point, increasing your height further is unlikely. However, maintaining a balanced diet, regular exercise and sufficient sleep can help you reach your maximum potential height.

how can i get longer in height i am 23 years old and i want to increase my height what can i do please help me

Male | 23

At 23 years old, it's unlikely you'll see a significant height increase since growth plates generally close after puberty. You should consult an endocrinologist to discuss any potential growth issues. Additionally, focusing on a balanced diet, regular exercise, and good posture may help you make the most of your height.

The desire to grow taller is quite common at your age. Genetics are the main determinants of your height, but let's talk about things you can control. To be healthy, consume a balanced diet full of nutrients, exercise regularly, for example, swimming or stretching, and make sure to have enough rest time.

How to increase Hight ? One month

Male | 17

The thing is though that how tall we become mainly depends on the genes we inherit from our parents. If you are still young and growing, it may be possible for you to maximize your height by ensuring that you sleep well, and eat foods rich in calcium and proteins while also doing exercises regularly.

Male | 17

At 117 pounds, 6 fee­t tall, your weight seems low. Eating balanced me­als - fruits, veggies, proteins - he­lps. Exercise like walking, and playing a sport also boosts he­alth too. If concerned, talk to a dietitian or doctor.

Getting your height up to 170cm is not an easy process. Genetics is the main factor in determining human height. Following a healthy diet, enough rest if possible, and regular exercise are the ways of helping you to reach your genetic height potential.

Height increasing capsules for increasing capsules

Female | 15

Capsules improving health are still not a thing. The fundamentals of the height physical variables are inherited from genes, most of them given by the parents. Nutrition, exercise, and sleep, on the other hand, can positively influence your growth potential. While eating a nutritious diet, exercising regularly, and getting enough sleep can be good factors of your full height potential.

Being 160 cm is regular for lots of pe­ople. But if it concerns you, we can discuss it. Your height may contribute if you have­ physical troubles like backaches or joint issue­s. Reme­mber, genes gre­atly influence how tall we grow. Eating nutritious foods, e­xercising regularly, and slee­ping enough can help maximize your he­ight potential.

Height increasing after 20 years of age

Male | 20

It is quite normal to stop growing in height after your teenage years. Most people have usually reached full growth by the time they are twenty years old. Some rare cases may continue to produce growth hormones and grow taller even as adults. Still, this happens very infrequently. If you are worried about being too short, talk to a doctor who can help you understand better what is going on.

I am a 14 year old male and i am confused am i going through puberty or ended it because they say that when height is stopped growing ouberty ends and i am already 3 inches taller than my father at this age and when i started puberty around 12 my height was almost same as my father so how when is it going ti end? I have noticed little bit height growth in the past few months possibly 1 cm

Male | 14

Hello! It seems you’re worried about how tall you will get and when puberty will end. It’s natural to feel insecure. Puberty normally stops around 18 for boys when they’ve had all the major growth spurts that can make them taller than ever before. If you’ve only started noticing yourself growing in height lately then this might mean your body is still changing because of puberty. Keep eating well, sleeping enough and exercising so your growth can be supported!

Male | 17

Around 18, most girls stop getting taller. Boys might kee­p growing until 21. However, each pe­rson is unique - you could grow more. A healthy die­t, sufficient sleep, and re­gular exercise can he­lp maximize growth potential. If worried about he­ight, discussing it with your doctor is wise.

Male | 14

It's completely normal for people to be shorter or taller than their parents. Several things, including genetics and nutrition, can affect how tall someone is. Eat well, sleep enough, and keep moving. Unfortunately, there's no quick fix, but looking after yourself may help you achieve your maximum potential height.
