A member asked:
Are there any conditions that can cause noticable height gain in a 37 yo w/ no other physical changes than just added height? wouldn't bones be fused?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Abnormal growth: Abnormal growth is seen in an endocrine disorder where the pituitary gland secretes too much growth hormone creating a condition called acromegaly. If individuals take exogenous growth hormone supplements, abnormal growth can occur among other metabolic abnormalities.
