Why am I getting taller when I am in my mid-30's?


Aren't we supposed to stop growing at (maximum) age 21? I was 5'6 from age 18-32. When I be 33 I went to a current doctor and he measured me and said I was a solid 5'7. A few months after that I was surrounded by another Dr's office and fixed to double check - yes indeed I am 5'7. A few years later, I have to change dr's again and when he measured me - - - - in a minute I'm 5'8!!! WHATS GOING ON?!?!?!?

Oh, just to permit you know - ALL of these measurements were taken at the END of the light of day. So, it's NOT "In the morning you're taller because your spine had adjectives night to stretch out and as the sunshine goes by, gravity will bring you hindmost to your true height." That's why I'm posting the sound out here.

Also - I have NOT be doing anything to stretch my spine out such as yoga, etc.

WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!?! Why is this happening? How is this possible? Even my friends who haven't see me in a long time who USED to be like peas in a pod exact height as me are describing me: "Oh my Gawd you look so tall!"

Gurls singular plz?


If your really are getting taller you NEED to see an endocrinologist. You could have a pituitary tumor cause excess growth hormone.

Your thyroid should have nought to do with it. If you enjoy a thyroid nodule I would have the endocrinologist look at that too.

.

You are right when you influence you shouldn't grow after a certain age. Your bone epiphysis should be fused by age 25, but you read aloud you are growing, the normal drop contained by growth hormone is what causes the fusion. If you enjoy a slow growing tumor is may cause a deferral in closure.

I construe you Dr's are not taking you seriously.

edit:

See an Endocrinologist. Even if you have a MRI of the brain, it was not an MRI of the pituitary gland, An MR of the pituitary gland is done surrounded by 1mm sections a brain MR is in 5mm section. It also should be done with and next to out contrast. It is very unforced to miss. Blood testing for elevated level of growth hormone would be more diagnostic.

You could also get a simple wrist x-ray to see your bone age.

Try measure your self on a regular basis approaching you do with your kids. How almost your shoe size, has it changed?

Anyone ever have realy bad experience - resembling peeing in public?

Do some research online. I've not heard of anyone growing departed their late teens/early 20's and sure not a full 2". I wasn't even aware that yoga practice could add more than a fraction of an inch...

Interesting.

What would a morning after pill do to a guy?

You may hold what is called Triple X Syndrome or XXX Syndrome. I hold a male friend who have Klinefelter's Syndrome which is similar but only appears within males...that is why I found your query interesting. There is plenty of information on the web for both disease's. I hope this information is adjectives to you. Good Luck!
