How to increase height? Thousands of users are asking this question on the Internet daily. The reasons for increasing height are different: from serious diagnoses to psychological complexes. Ladisten Clinic is ready to solve these problems with help of a height increase operation.

The causes of short height

The baby begins to grow from birth. In the first year, he or she adds up to 25 cm, in the second – up to 12 cm. Next, a human grows by 5-7 cm annually until puberty. Height increase stops at the age of about 20-25 years. At a young age, the increase of height can be stimulated through exercise. But how to increase your height after 40 years is already a question for the surgeon. Apart from short height, different limb length can be present.  Lameness and poor posture develop. Together with height increase, it is possible to perform limb length discrepancy correction. It is also important for a full life.

There is a lot of causes of short height:

• Heredity. If both parents are not higher than 160 cm, the child is unlikely to inherit the height of a basketball player. This is not a pathology but it can cause psychological discomfort¹;
• Genetic diseases, such as:

1. the pathology of androchoplasia (dwarfism);
2. Laron syndrome (growth hormone disorder), etc.;
3. Prader- Willi syndrome – a rare hereditary disease caused by the absence of a paternal copy of the 15q11-13² chromosome.

Severe disorders in the genetic code lead not only to dwarfism, but also to the development of concomitant diseases.

• Lifestyle. Stunted growth can be caused by lack of nutrition (vitamins and minerals) in childhood and adolescence. Therefore, nutrition should be balanced especially for children;
• Other diseased. Lack of growth hormone, pathologies of the neuroendocrine system and/or thyroid gland.

Pathological stunting is evident in childhood. A number of tests and an x-ray of the hands and feet are done to carry out the diagnostics and choose proper treatment of short stature in childhood and adolescence. This allows to see open growth zones.
