A member asked:

Drs....i have 18 years and 6 months now!...is there any possible way to increase my height ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unless you: have delayed puberty your ultimate height has almost been obtained. If you think your maturation has been delayed, your doctor can check a bone age x-ray to see if you have any potential growth remaining. Otherwise, reach your maximum by healthy eating and exercise.
