Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a 17 year old son who is 17 and is 5'-3" and is having a very hard time dealing with it. We did bringbhim to a endocrinologist/ growth hormone dr. and he was tested for growth hormone stimulation test and his growth hormone has always been good / adequate. When he had the test a few years ago he grew 3" in 4 months which was the only major growth spurt he has ever had. Our last visit was last February and she said his growth plates were nearly complete and nothing can be done. We called today to see if they could do the stimulation test one more time , in hoping that would maybe help him have one last spurt. Please tell us if there is anything we can do. 5'-3" is tough for a male these days.
