Height problem
Hello doctors
I have a problem regarding my height. So I am 20 yr old female
Height : 5 feet
Weight 58 kg
My height has stopped growing when I turned 13. I got periods few days ago before turning 13 and since my body went through drastic change. Everyone in my family is taller except me so it is not a genetic. Even my grandparents from both the sides are tall.
Mom's height : 5 feet 5 inch
Dad's height : 5 feet 11 inch
Brother's height : 5 feet 11 inch. Age : 19
Youngest brothers height : 6 feet. Age : 14
So I am the only one who is lacking height
I did consult a lot of doctors since a kid but nothing happened. I did even grew a inch or 2 in the span of 8 yrs. So kindly help
