Question 1

if you haven't grown in height in several years does that mean your are done growing? what about after five or six years of no change in height?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If you are 30 it is unlikely you will grow in height anymore.  For females their growth spurt usually occurs between 10-12 and may grow until 16-18 and for boys their growth spurt is around 12-14 and may grow until 18-20.  If you also have not grown for 5-6 years it is likely you are done growing

Question 2

i am 22 years old and 6'1 tall. i have been this height since i was 17-18. i read in that some cases, men stop growing for a bit between 16-20, then end up growing a bit more after 21-22. does a slow growth rate mean my growth plates have closed?

Accepted Answer

: No, you won't grow anymore at your current age. Take care.

Question 3

i was able to ejaculate at age 11, does that mean that my puberty will end and ill stop growing in height at 16? my dad stopped growing at 18/19, will i stop growing in height at that age too?

Accepted Answer

: The most reliable indicator for the end of your height is an x-ray of your wrist/hand. It can be assessed for growth potential. If the growth centers are closed you are done. If wide open you may grow to 18=19. If you are not willing or able to get this simple test, your repeated questions about your final height are a waste of your time. It will be what it will be.

Question 4

when body stop growing? im 18.5 before 2 months a was grow about 1 cm , so can i increase more? like 1-2cm , my height is 177.5 i want to be 180cm :(

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: It depends on your genes, your current level of physical maturity, plus if you're eating a balanced diet and getting enough sleep.

Question 5

are pauses in height growth exists?
like can you stop growing for 4 months and then continue growing again?

Accepted Answer

: Height is one of many variables in growth that can pause &amp; restart. We look at the year, not monthly or quarterly growth to evaluate it. You have been given the best way to predict whether you have more growth potential, the wrist/hand x-ray bone age. All the other things you have asked about are of little value. Get the study, or accept its results if you did.  Obsessing over this is a waste.

Question 6

i am 22 years old male and i am still growing in height, at 21 i was 193.5cm and now i have 195.3 cm( 1 month ago i was 194.5). and yet i am very skinny(59 kg). why i am still growing? what to do to stop my growth? and why i am so skinny?

Accepted Answer

: Proper assessment would require an exam and testing. There are no simple answers to this question. If you are concerned go in for an evaluation.

Question 7

at what age do we stop growing in height?

Accepted Answer

Growth: Growth height stops somewhere between age 16 and 20.  Once growth stops the bone structure will increase for a few years. The bone structure will not grow further but the strength will improve over the next few years.

Question 8

my height is depressing me. at what age do girls stop growing?

Accepted Answer

Depends: The hormones of puberty trigger both the final growth spurt and eventual closure of the growth centers. Women generally grow 5-7 cm after their first menses, which itself can happen at differing age based on genetic and dietary factors. Most will finish by 16-17.A single x-ray of the wrist/hand can identify growth centers as either open (more growth) or closed (finished growing).

Question 9

hi im 17 years old and my height is 6'5. how do i stop growing tall? its really hard to maintain such a height.

Accepted Answer

Height: You should be proud of your height. Your trouble with your height is a matter of opinion.. You will stop shortly on your own.

Question 10

i am 16....n ma height is 5.1/5 did i stop growing....ma dad is 5.7 n mums 5.4....i wanna grow 5.6...will i be able to grow at the age of 16 n after..

Accepted Answer

Three more Years: You have three more years of growing ahead of you.  There is no predicting how much you will grow. Make sure you are eating a diet high in proteins and getting good cardiovascular exercise.
