Still growing at 20? 166 cm male, below mid-parental height. Need an endocrinologist's opinion?

​

Age/Sex: 20 / Male

Height: 166 cm (measured barefoot)

Weight: 55kg

Parents: Father 168 cm, mother 162 cm

Medical conditions/medications: None [edit if different]

I'm trying to find out if I could still be growing. I have a beard that isn't fully filled in. My mid-parental estimate is about 171 cm, so I'm below it.

Questions for endocrinologists:

Is it still worth getting evaluated at 20?

Is a bone-age X-ray of the left hand and wrist enough to tell if my plates are open, or do I need hormone tests too (testosterone, IGF-1, thyroid)?

If my plates are still open, is there any legitimate treatment, or is it only watch and wait?

Should I see an endocrinologist directly or start with a GP?

I'm not interested in supplements or "height increase" products, just a proper medical opinion.

Thank you!

20M, 166 cm, decent beard, parents 168 and 162. Is there any chance I'm still growing?

Hi everyone. I'm 20 (born 2006) and 166 cm tall. I have a decent beard, though it isn't fully filled in. My dad is 168 cm and my mom is 162 cm. By the mid-parental formula I'd expect to be around 171 cm, so I feel like I'm on the lower side of my range.

Is there any realistic chance I could still grow, or have my growth plates most likely closed by now? I'm planning to get a bone-age X-ray to check. Has anyone here done that, and what was the result?

I'm also working on my posture and lifting to build my frame. Any advice that actually works is welcome. I'm not interested in pills or scams.

Thanks!

Beginners preparing for SSC CGL — need guidance from selected candidates

Hii everyone,

I’m starting my SSC CGL preparation and I’m honestly a bit confused about how to begin properly.

I would really appreciate guidance from people who have already cleared SSC CGL or are currently preparing seriously.

Which teachers/resources did you follow for Quant, Reasoning, English and GK/GS?

Should a beginner follow one teacher consistently or use different teachers for different subjects?

What mistakes did you make during your preparation that you would recommend beginners avoid?

How many hours of study are actually enough if you’re starting from zero?

How should I approach PYQs, mocks and revision?

Is it better to complete the whole syllabus first or start solving PYQs alongside preparation?

I’m not looking for a huge list of resources. I just want a simple and practical roadmap that I can follow consistently.

If you’ve been selected, please share what you did differently and what you wish you had known when you started.

Thanks!

Driving Licence from RTO Kotdwar through an Agent

I’m thinking of getting my driving licence from RTO Kotdwar through an agent. Has anyone recently done it this way?

What’s the process like, how much does the agent usually charge, and is there anything I should be careful about? Also, how does the driving test work there?

Would appreciate it if someone who recently got their licence through an agent could share their experience.
