My height is 168 cm. Will Oxandrolone help in increasing my height?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am a 16-year-old guy. My height is 5.5 feet. My weight is 143 lbs. My father's height is 5.8 feet and my mother's height is 5.3 feet. I wanted to ask if I can consume Oxandrolone? Is it safe for me? Also, how can I increase my height in this stage?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your height is almost the average of your parents. At 15-17 years in males growth plates close and then there is no increase in height possible after that. You are almost in that age. Do you have any other symptoms of impaired secondary sexual characteristics? You can have bone age checked if you want to confirm it. Oxandarolone is an anabolic steroid. It increases weight an not height. You should not use Oxandrolone if you have prostate ca ncer, advanced kidney disease, high levels of calcium in your blood, breast cancer, or if you are pregnant. Some people using Oxandrolone have developed life-threatening side effects on the liver, spleen, and blood vessels. These conditions can occur without warning or symptoms and can lead to liver failure, internal bleeding, cancer, stroke, heart attack, or death. I do not think it will have more benefits than risks it poses.
