Typically a neonates growth is generally referred to in terms of cephalocaudal or proximodistal patterns . \nThe cephalocaudal pattern is where the greatest development takes place at the top of the body, i.e. the head, and physical development moves gradually downwards: e.g. neck, shoulders, trunk, etc. \nThe proximodistal pattern of development is where growth starts at the centre of the body and moves towards the extremities. An example of such a pattern is the early development of muscular control of the trunk and arms relative to the hands and fingers. \n\nMore info here ...\nhttp://www.hon.ch/Dossier/MotherChild/postnatal/development.html

well people grow taller till the ends of the long bones keep growing ...once they are fused no gain in height is usually possible. If you feel that your growth is not proper do get an appointment with an endocrinologist who deals with problems of growth...however i think your height is sufficient ti leading a normal and fruitful life...so why worry there is more to life then just being tall!!

You might not grow anymore. You might grow another 6 inches. Really, I can't tell you. Typically people stop growing in their late teenage years.

It's possible that you could level off at around 6ft or a bit taller \nor if you hit puberty early you may not grow anymore but generally speaking you grow until you are roughly 18 but I have had friends that had a growth spurt when 21 so it all depends on genetic's and ancestry.  Ask your parents if they had tall uncles or grandparents or any ancestors that had been tall.  Myself my dad is only 5'10" but I'm almost 6'2 and have older brothers we share the same dad and they are 6'4" and 6' 5" but I also have \nScandinavian background, Viking and Icelandic so it goes to say we are built like tree trunks as well.

I guess it depends on how old you are, usually growth continues until about age 17-21. There are no foods that help you grow, however a Calcium supplement does promote bone strength, so getting a good amount of Calcium in your diet is important and also weight bearing exercise stimulates bone growth too.

Don't worry, sometimes it is very small when you are not aroused. When you get aroused it will grow, and the smaller it is when your not aroused, the more it will grow when your are aroused.

usually men do not stop growing until they are about 21 but you also have to take into account, did you use any corticosteroids for breathing problems, add medications when younger, did you eat all your vegetables?, Healthy eating/living is always your best bet of reaching maximum growth. do not just think milk will make you grow, there are a lot healthy ways to get calcium and other essential vitamins and minerals like vegetables and natural/ nature resources

From what I know about 3-4 inches erect and 2-3 soft. What makes you think you have a tumor? Everybody grows at different rates and if that is large for you wait and it will get bigger. If you are bigger already that just means you have grown faster. I hope that answers your question

Hi Amir, three factors that affect your growth rate are as follows :\n\n(1) Your Genes\n(2) Your Pituitary Gland\n(3) Your Nutrition\n\nThe Pituitary gland sits as the bottom of the middle of your brain. Its secrets various harmones, one of them including the growth harmone. Growth hormone is the key factor that controls how tall you grow to be, and the amount of it that gets produced can vary from year to year and even month to month as you grow.\n\nNutrition can help, in the sense that undernourishment can cause growth to go more slowly. Eat well-balanced meals, with protein, vegetables, and all the vitamins and minerals you need.\n\nYou certainly can't control your genes, but with a well balanced diet, you centainly can suppliment the rate of increase. The only limiting factor is your age. By 19 years, the growth of an average person stops. There are medicines available in the market, but I am certainly not in favour of using those. In case you want to , consult your doctor before using those.\n\nJust a note:\nScientists have cloned the gene for human growth hormone, and so the purified factor is now available for doctors to use. But they only use it in special medical cases where severely low levels of growth hormone can cause problems. \n\nFor a detailed explaination of how to increase your height, check out the following articles :\n\nhttp://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=96896\nhttp://www.teenhealthfx.com/answers/Sports/15469.html

Getting your period has nothing to do with growing taller. Each happens on it's own schedule!\n\n         Aaron

First we are geneticically predisposed to be a certain height and only when we deprive our bodies of needed nutrition do we change that by maybe stunting our growth. So, you may take back after any relative, mostly it will go back to the grandparents. So, no amount of food will make you grow taller. You do need to eat healthy and get the nutrition you need to grow to your maximum height. So, be patient. Yes, people can have a spurt at age 16. Girls are growing until 18-2,  sometimes. Boys usually grow fastest at an earlier age than girls do. But, 11 in. is a lot. So, hang in there and be happy with what and who you are. You are beautiful just the way you are. God designed you to be who you are, an individual, with no one else who is like you. Isn't that amazing? Love coming your way. Prayers that you will grow and will love yourself no matter what.

The best way to grow taller is to eat nutritious food and excercise. Because of your age, you may be nearing your last spurt of growth. It is important that during this last spurt of growth, you excercise and eat healthily because this might be your last chance to grow taller. You may be able to grow up to an inch.
