A member asked:
Sir, i m 16 yrs old n have a height growth issue. though it is genetic as my father is also not much tall but i want some medical advice.. pls help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Confusing post: If your question is what to expect in your final height, both parents have input. A female is expected to reach the average of both parents height less 2.5 inch. A male the average plus 2.5 in. This can go an inch or so either way, but that is the basics.
