At 14 years old, you are still in the growth spurt and can generally grow taller.
At age 14, both girls and boys are in puberty and can continue to grow in height. Height development depends on whether the epiphysis is closed or not, and at 14 years old, the epiphysis usually does not close.
This stage of the teenager, need to pay more attention to supplement nutrition, eat more calcium content of food, such as eggs, milk, fish, usually also need to pay attention to strengthen the longitudinal exercise, such as jumping, playing basketball, bouncing and so on.
If a 14-year-old boy is not growing in height, it may be related to calcium deficiency or premature epiphyseal closure. It is recommended that the child go to the growth and development clinic of the hospital in time for relevant examinations such as epiphysis, nutritional status, hormone levels, etc. If the problem is caused by calcium deficiency, the child’s height may be reduced.
If the slow growth is caused by calcium deficiency, supplementation of calcium and other nutrients and vitamins should be prescribed by the doctor, which can promote the growth of height; if the epiphyses have already closed, there is little chance of further growth. Some endocrine system diseases such as congenital thyroxine deficiency should also be excluded.
