Asking for Self, Male, 20 years old, Lahore
A.O.A, 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)
I can help and guide you properly
If someone suggested you these tests better get them done. This looks like endocrine problem.
Consult me online after the tests.
the above tests are for fonding the cause of slow growth and will be helpful in differentiating between hormonal issues or a constitutional delay in puberty. once you get these tests done, further treatment can be started based upon the test results.
Yes these tests are required for further evaluation
