Talk to Endocrinologist on Height Issue
Asking for Self, Male, 20 years old, Lahore
Doctor, I am 20 years old. My height is about 5’6, and the last time it increased was around 3 years ago. Since then, my height has remained the same. My weight has also been almost stable for the past 2 years at around 50 kg. However, I still do not have a proper beard, and my voice has not deepened much. Because of this, I look younger than my actual age. I want to ask if there is still any possibility for my height to increase, or could this be due to delayed puberty or a hormonal issue?
Please guide me regarding the following tests (or any others you find necessary): • X-Ray Left Hand & Wrist (Bone Age Assessment) • IGF-1 • LH, FSH • Serum Testosterone (Total & Free) • Serum Prolactin • Thyroid Profile (TSH, Free T3, Free T4) • 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D • Serum Calcium • Complete Blood Count (CBC)

yes .better to do all of the above except IGF 1..which we can consider later on.
meanwhile ,a good history is needed to rule out possible causes.
thank you
