How can i increase my height at age of 17. now my height is 5.0 foot

Nothing will help: You probably stopped growing about 2 years after your first menstrual period due to normal fusion of your bone's growth plates. Once they are fused there is nothing that will allow you additional growth and no need for hormonal testing
