A member asked:
What normal or rare pituitary issues would cause 38 yo to grow taller--something other than acromegaly? doctor visits, research coming up emptyhanded.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Taller: I have been an Endocrinologist since 1974 (still active) and have never seen any information causing you to grow taller at your age. That said, if you truly think you are growing taller please see an Endocrinologist. Please let me know what develops.
