What should a 26-year-old do to grow taller?
Disease description:
I am relatively short, and my height hasn't improved despite exercising. This really troubles me. What can I do to grow taller at age 26?

At 26 years of age, the skeletal system has fully developed and the epiphyseal plates have long since closed, making it quite difficult to grow taller. Appropriate exercise and dietary adjustments cannot stimulate bone growth at this stage. Therefore, for individuals aged 26 who wish to increase their height, surgical procedures such as limb lengthening surgery are the only available treatment options.
