Im pretty sure its HGD?
I’ve tried to ignore it, but I just can’t anymore.
I’m 18, 5′4, 108 pounds, male, 11 1/2 shoe size, and look REALLY young. I’ve looked exactly the same for 4 years now. All the males on both sides of my family are 5′10 and on the heavy side. I have plenty of hair everywhere except my face which I have a little. My testes are in the next to last stage of development. I was average height till about 8th grade and I have not grown any since. I also have not changed in my face. The pictures of me in the 8th grade, look exactly like the ones now, in college. I was 5′4 in the 8th grade, looked like a normal 8th grader. Then I just stopped changing. My mom is 5′4 and my dad is 5′10(at least, probably more). I am not exaggerating about how I look. I look extremely young. .I have a really poor appetite and I am on Prozac.
Reasons why I think its HGD :
I have Huge feet for my size
I haven’t changed in 4 years physically
The other effects of puberty has not been effected…(size of testes, pubic hair)
Every male on both sides are at least 5"10 and on the heavy side.
I’m having a lot of trouble gaining weight/poor appetite
I look like a 13 year old max
I have poor muscle mass (the bones on my elbows/wrists and shoulders actually stick out…looks weird)
I was average size till the 8th grade…was in the 50th percentile for boys, then plummeted to the 3rd?
I take Prozac for anxiety (another symptom)
My penis has not grown any since the 8th grade
My family doctor did blood tests on everything but HGD (Endo’s have to do the test). I need a referral to see an endo, do you think he will give me one? Anyone had any experience with HGD? Sound like I have it?
—–A lot of people skim so I’m going to say it again. I look REALLY young 13-14, not just short. That is what bothers me.
Edit: Just wondering…any heart or lung issues, or other medical issues that you may have?
Nope…at least that I am aware of. I’m trying to tell my mom I need to see one, but she is siding with my family doctor atm…

im 19, 110 lb, 5′7, 11 1/2 shoe size, and male. I have been 110 lb, and have gained one inch of height over the past 5 years. My face/body has stayed the same, and i really can’t take it anymore. I look REALLY young, my face makes me look 13-14. All the males on both sides of my family are at the very least 6′ and over average weightwise. I’ve been to my family doctor and he did a blood test and said everything was ok. But i just can’t see this being normal.
I’ve ditched all my friends, and dropped out of college due to the mental stress, i just feel like a middle school kid out of place in college on the outside.. Could it be some sort of growth disorder?…
I don’t care about my height, it just fits….I’m so underdeveloped for my age…
Its going to be a long story…so be prepared.
Ok, i’m 18, male, 5′4, 107 pounds. I have a immature face. Ever since the 8th grade I have stopped growing physically, I have no appitete what so ever, and I am actually losing weight atm. My mom is 5′5 and my dad is 5′11. No one on either side of the family are this short/young looking.
I went to the doctor to get my bloodwork done. Everything came back normal that he tested for…(not even sure if he tested for this)…But human growth hormone deficiency can be hard to test for in blood because it shoots out in spirts…so generally the amount in the blood will be low. I don’t know what to do, I want a second opinion…but where do I go besides my family doctor?
I will eventually kill myself if I don’t get this resolved. Its all I ever think about anymore and I will never get over it. This life is not worth living. (Not that any of you care) Please don’t comment on this subject, nothing of what any of you say will change my mind.
To those who claim "you will love it when your older!" obviously have NO idea what its like looking so young/short, being a male. I’m sick of it.

So if anyone has experienced this or has a suggestion I would appreciate it…..Thanks.
Please don’t comment unless you have something worth posting…
I’m 18, male, 108lb, and 5′4 with a immature face. Basically I haven’t gotten any older (physically) since the 8th grade. All my drivers license pictures look EXACTLY the same. My weight has actually decreased since then (I was 115). Im under the 3rd percentile on a boys growth chart. From what I understand these are classic symptoms of hgh deficiency. Should I see a specialist? I got bloodwork done from my family doctor but he didnt do a hgh test.
I forgot to add, none of the males on BOTH sides of my family are under 5′10
