A member asked:
I have an age of 19 and will turn 20 this may. my height however is 5'6. can it further go better? what measures should i take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: Unfortunately, the majority of people have ceased growing in height by 19 years old. Your doctor could obtain a screening x-ray to see if the growth plates in your long bones have closed. If so, only surgical manipulation will change nature.
