Is Slow Height Growth Bad for Health?

Patient's Query

Hight groth is slow is hight is is not good

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

Slower growth can be influenced by genetics, nutrition, or hormonal issues, and it’s essential to observe any other accompanying symptoms, like fatigue or changes in appetite. If you have concerns about height, a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, regular exercise, and adequate sleep are crucial. It's always wise to connect with a healthcare professional to discuss these observations; they can provide reassurance and evaluate any underlying factors accurately.

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 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.

I had done masturbation last week my weight is 50kg age is 18 and my height is short what to do to increase body weight and height

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.

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 | 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.

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

Male | 16

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.

I am 16 years old girl, my height is 4'9 how can i get taller? Any supplements or medicine suggestions? Please suggest one medicine because I have tried everything possible which can naturally make me taller..but it didn't really work

Female | 16

At 16, it's understandable to wish for a taller stature. Growth is influenced by genetics, nutrition, and overall health. While you might explore various options, it's vital to focus on a balanced diet rich in calcium, vitamin D, and protein, which support bone health. Unfortunately, there’s no specific medicine to guarantee an increase in height. I recommend consulting a healthcare professional who can guide you through personalized strategies and check your growth potential based on your unique situation.

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.

Male | 14

Genetics play a big role in how tall we get. At 14 years old, you're actually right in the middle of your growth spurt, so there's still a good chance you'll grow more. On average, girls keep growing until around 16 years old, and boys until around 18. While there's no magic medicine to make you taller, eating a balanced diet, getting enough sleep, and staying active can help you reach your full height potential.
