How To Reduce Height?
Hi, Doc! May I know if there are certain procedures to reduce my height? I think I can t stop growing and it worries me a lot coz I don t want to grow above 170cm but I m reaching approximately 185cm already. Do you have any idea what kind of procedures I can undergo?

hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
As you may be into the growing stages like below the age of 18, the growth hormone is pretty active and is leading to increased in height. There are measures to suppress the activity of the growth hormone, but it is not recommended since this will lead to abnormal reactions in different systems of the body.
Even, after this you want to stop the physiology of the growth hormone you can meet an endocrinologist and get helped.
