Endocrinology eval: There is really no way for YOU to increase your height. If your growth plates haven't closed yet, there are some treatments available from an endocrinologist to increase your growth.

Unlikely to happen: By 18 most males are at the end of their linear growth ; their growth centers are closing.An x-ray of the left wrist and hand can be arranged and will show if your growth centers still l show more potential.If you entered puberty late and have a bone maturity more like a 15 yo you may get 2 inches.If your growth centers are closed, you are done.You will need to accept your height as it is.
