A member asked:
Can taking thyroid medication cause an adult (late30s) to grow taller, or does that only occur in children with thyroid issues?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Significant growth..: ...Can only occur if the growth plates have not closed - and they usually close by late teens; and supplemental thyroid hormones only promote growth in thyroid-deficient individuals.
