A member asked:
What thyroid abnormalities can cause those over 36 to grow noticeably taller? in rare instances can hypothyroidism or levoxyl do it? no other symptoms
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: In the absence of your taking growth hormone to build your body, I would look to your pituitary for a reason to have both thyroid and growth problems. An endocrinologist may be of help here. The best of wishes for good health.
