A member asked:

Hi i m 22 years old male. i want to increase my height by two-three inches. please help me.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely to grow : At 22 your growth centers have likely closed.Keep active ; a healthy diet but don't expect to grow taller.If you want to know for sure an x-ray of your wrist ; hand can be analysed for bone maturity ; tell if the growth centers remain open to new growth.
