Would gaining height in my 40s signal i have a disorder like triple xxx? i never had any developmental delays. i'm tall & getting taller. is it xxx?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not XXX: but more likely Growth Hormone ....(acromegaly) is an outside abnormality..... In any case have your Primary Care Provider check a few things and if appropriate refer you to a Board Certified ENDOCRINOLOGIST! Hope this helps! Dr Z
