A member asked:

Help please? what hormone will stunt my height growth?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Height: Have you had your height documented from an early age. If so at what age did you stop growing. If you are still growing, albeit slowly, and are much shorter than your parents a visit to your doctor would be appropriate. That said, well before age 47 your bone growth should have stopped and there is little likelihood of getting taller

Is it possible for a female to grow 2-3 inches taller after age 35? Can you have another growth spurt at that time after 10-15 years of no height change? Any medical conditions or hormone changes that could cause that much growth at that age?
