Hello Doctor, I am 22 years old male.My height is 5 4.My fathers and mothers height are 5 5 and 5 7 respectively. My brothers also have a height of 5 7. I would like to know whether there is way to increase my height. Please tell me if there is a solution as its kind of depressing and embarrassing to walk with family and friends who have more height.. Thanking you

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
An endocrinologist could help – you need to be examined and investigated for further assessment and assistance. It could be familial / variant
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck

Hi,
Having height 5 4 is not bad height so do not feel depressed.
After 20 years further increasing height is not possible due to fusion of epiphyses of long bones.
If some body claims for increasing height, do not believe.
Ok and take care.
