Short heightedness
I am 5"1 and 16. My short height in very embarrassing sometimes. I guess it is genetic as my mother is 5"1 too. But I desperately need to increase my height and I am ready to follow any effective treatment. Thankyou!

Hello There.
I can understand your concern.
you got genes from your father too so your father's height will also be a deciding factor as to how much you will grow.
anyways, you are just 16, and you will grow for another 3-4 years.
do not need to worry.
Best regards,
Dr. Anil kumar jain.
