Hello doctor.i'm a 20 years old girl. if i take growth hormone at this age, what are the chances of getting taller?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very unlikely: Your growth plates are most likely closed (and have been for some time). You therefore are unlikely to be able to grow any taller taking growth hormone.
