How can I safely grow taller at 16?
Patient's Query
I am 16 year old I am only 5.1 inch I want to increase my height so please tell me medicine for height growth which have no side effects
Answered by Dr. Babita Goel
Beginning 16 years old and 5.1 inches high, it's a common desire to want to grow more. It is mostly an inherited trait to a large extent, and therefore you don't require any special drugs to fix the problem of short height. Having a balanced diet, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly can support growth. To repeat, one needs to remember that adolescents grow at different rates.

Can i increase my height now I am 17 years old girl I am suffering from my short height and my was not increase in 3 years if I am taking this capsule I can increase my height
Female | 17
Around this age, most girls have reached their adult height as their growth plates have usually closed. So, the potential for significant height increase might be limited. Factors like genetics, nutrition, and overall health play a role in height. Taking capsules without medical guidance may not necessarily increase height and could even be harmful. I recommend focusing on a balanced diet, regular exercise, and proper sleep for overall health. If you're concerned, it's always a good idea to chat with a pediatrician for personalized advice.

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.

Male | 18
At 18, your bones are nearly done growing, so a significant increase in height is unlikely. However, focusing on good nutrition, regular exercise, and proper posture can help you make the most of your height. It's also a good idea to consult an endocrinologist to check if everything is okay with your growth hormones.

I'm only 33kg with 4'11 height my age is 17 and my parents are 5'8 or 5'11 around so how can I growth myself now atleast 5'2???
Female | 17
Genetics play a significant role in determining height, and your parents' heights can influence yours. At 17, your growth plates may still have some potential for growth. To support healthy growth, ensure a balanced diet rich in proteins, calcium, and vitamins. Regular exercise, plenty of sleep, and avoiding smoking and excessive caffeine can also aid growth. It's always a good idea to consult with an endocrinologist to discuss your concerns and explore any potential options available for you.

আমার নাম অভি আমার বাবার উচ্চতা ৫.৭ আমার বয়স ১৬ বছর ১০ মাস আমার বর্তমান উচ্চতা ৫.৬ । আমি আর ও ৩ ইঞ্চি লম্বা হতে চাই আমার কি করা উচিত ? আমি কি আর লম্বা হতে পারবো?
পুরুষ | ১৬ বছর ১১মাস
At 16 years old, you are still in a phase of growth and development. It's common for individuals to continue growing until their early 20s. Your current height of 5.6 feet is close to your father's height of 5.7 feet, which suggests you may still have some growth potential left. To support your growth, make sure you have a balanced diet rich in nutrients like protein, calcium, and vitamins. Regular exercise, plenty of sleep, and avoiding habits like smoking can also positively impact your growth. Remember, everyone's growth process is unique, so it's important to focus on being healthy rather than just getting taller.

Concerns about height can stem from various factors, such as genetics, hormonal levels, or nutritional issues. Common signs might include feeling self-conscious or frustration with your stature. It's important to know that growth potential often continues until the late teens. A balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, regular exercise, and adequate sleep can support healthy growth. However, if you’re feeling particularly concerned, I encourage you to consult a physician. They can offer tailored advice and explore if any underlying factors need attention.

I'm 19 about height growth need to talk
Male | 19
When you turn 19, the things that you eat and the genes of your parents are some things to be careful about because these factors are among the things that are influencing your growth in height. If height is a primary concern for you, you should first check whether your development is slow or not and if you are experiencing problems like feeling unusual among others. Make sure you eat, in a balanced way, food abundant with minerals and vitamins, as this is absolutely crucial for growth in a natural progression. On top of these, regular exercise and an ample sleep time are also key factors that are beneficial for good health. If you have a specific issue, I would rather advise you to talk to a doctor who will give you individualized pieces of advice and check for other causes. Certainly, the effort you have made in finding information is really commendable!

Sir mai 23 sal ka hu mai apni height kaise badhao kya medicine se meri height badh sakti hai
Male | 23 ya 24
The height is mainly determined by genetics, so there's a limit to how much you can increase it at your age. Taking medicines to increase height isn't usually recommended because the growth plates in your bones typically close around the end of puberty. However, focusing on a balanced diet rich in nutrients, regular exercise like stretching, and proper sleep can help you maintain good overall health, which is important for reaching your maximum height potential. If you're still worried, it's always a good idea to consult with an endocrinologist who can provide personalized advice and guidance.

Male | 18
At your age, a good and regular diet mechanism is the most important in formulation and weight enhancement. Concentrate on eating foods that are good for you. This is a process that involves more than one part. Try eggs and lean meats apart from whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Besides, working through the strength training process is crucial too. First, make sure you consume enough energy to carry out the activities. Bear in mind that the kind of bones you get also largely depends on the genes that you inherit from your parents, and it’s these healthy habits that will take you to your highest divide.

Being extremely thin at 29 years old might worry you. Your fast metabolism could burn calories quickly. Or, you may not consume enough food. Health problems can also affect weight. To gain pounds, eat calorie-rich foods like nuts, avocados, nut butter. Work with a nutritionist. They'll make a meal plan just for gaining weight. Weight gain needs to happen slowly and healthily.

Sometimes genetics play a big role in determining our adult height. If your parents are on the shorter side, you may end up being shorter too. Other factors like nutrition, overall health, and any underlying medical conditions can also affect your height. There are ways to address this. I recommend consulting with a endocrinologist to rule out any underlying issues and discuss possible options. They may suggest certain lifestyle changes, exercises, or even hormone therapy if needed.
