Question
I experienced growth shortening due to precocious puberty in childhood, and now I’m only 140 cm tall. Is it still possible to use hormone injections to help increase my height? At that time, treatment was not received due to the underdevelopment of technology.
Answer
For stature shortening caused by precocious puberty in childhood, if you are over 18 years old, hormone therapy cannot restore you to a normal height. It is recommended to undergo a face-to-face examination to assess your current skeletal development status and determine the treatment plan accordingly. Regardless of the cause of the short stature, the current age has no substantial significance for treatment. It is advisable to actively participate in sports, maintain a good posture, and boost your self-confidence.
