How do I grow taller? I'm 15 and only 5'3''?
There are numbers of reasons why a person is not tall, and most of them do not have any effective treatment. Probably the commonest cause is genetic, that is to say that one or both your parents are below average height, or that short stature runs in your family. There is really nothing that can be done about this. The other cause that most people know about is a deficiency of growth hormone, which is produced by the pituitary gland situated at the base of the brain. If a deficiency of this hormone is discovered early enough in life, it is sometimes possible to give treatment with injections of growth hormone to increase height. However, by the time you get to 17 years of age, your bones may not respond to the effect of the hormone. The only way to find out if you have this condition is to discuss it with your doctor. Blood tests an X-rays to see how your bones are growing can usually make the diagnosis, but for treatment you would need referral to a specialist. These investigations should also show if there is any other cause for your short stature. But you should not think that it will definitely help you. Medical science can not make you the way you want to be - and it is true not only for height - so it's better to accept yourself as you are. Tall people are not necessary happier than short people - look at the tallest man in Ukraine, who was stripped of his title, lives alone with his mother, and has constant legs pain! The exercises they advertise on-line may increase your height temporarily for 0,5 - 1 cm, it's hardly noticeable and does not worth the trouble: your height varies during the day on its own. Very occasionally, surgeons will try an operation to lengthen the bones in the legs. This is very difficult, and takes many months or even years, and a series of operations. It is a dreadful operation, and I mentioned it only because you may have heard of it. Never consider mutilating yourself for a miserable increase in height, and be happy as you are.
