A member asked:

I'm a 16 girl. is it possible for me to gain 6 inches taller?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: All depends on what level of maturity you have already achieved. If you have just started the changes of puberty, that growth is possible. If you are having periods now, probably not.

Dr Bansal and another doctor agreed
