What is the disease or diseases where adult stopped growing normally after puberty but then 13 years later started growing in height again out of blue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Late height growth: I have not experienced this in my practice. When you stop growing the bone does not continue to grow and certainly not 13 years later. There are conditions where certain parts of your bone structure grow but you don't get taller. That condition is acromegaly. Please see your doctor about this.
