A member asked:

If you stopped growing around age 22-23, can height restart growing again 10-12 years later and, if so, what could be the reason for that to occur?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Growth: This is not normal. If you are not taking growth hormone supplements you need to see your octor ASAP to rule out a pituitary tumor, a tumor in the gland that can release the growth hormone. In the brain.
