I'm really concerned because my height just isn't increasing anymore. It seems to have suddenly stopped at 5'4". Is there anything I can do to help my height grow?

The sudden appearance of a lump near your anus, accompanied by chills, fever, and relief with NSAIDs like diclofenac, may indicate:
- Perianal abscess: A painful, pus-filled pocket near the anus.
- Anal gland infection: An infection of the anal glands, which can cause pain, swelling, and fever.

I'm a 23-year-old guy, standing at 5'9.5". I'm really interested in knowing if I can still increase my height at this age. Could you give me some advice on this?
Growth plates in the bones of the human body close by the age of 18-21 years (for males). After these growth plates close, it is generally not possible to increase height through natural methods or medical intervention like growth hormone therapy. You may try to improve posture or focus on stretching and yoga in order to increase your perceived height.
