Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am an 18-year-old female with a height of 5 feet and a weight of 99 lbs. I got my period at the age of 11. My parents' heights are about 5.1 and 5.4 feet. Is there a chance that I can increase in height?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It appears that you have already surpassed your predicted height of 4.8 feet based on your parental height calculation. After 18 years of age in females, there is usually a very slight chance of growing further. You can try to exercise like cycling or playing sports to grow further.
