Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 15-year-old girl. I got my periods at the age of 12 and a half years. I am only 5.2 feet in height. I want to increase my height by least 2 to 3 inches.

Please help me.

Answered by Dr. J. N. Naidu

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Height is influenced by -

1. Genetics which you cannot alter.

2. Increase physical activity- walking, playing, yoga, etc.

3. Eat a balanced diet.

4. Eat one boiled egg daily.

5. Eat more boiled vegetables and fruits.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
