Hello, I am a 19-year-old boy and my height is 5'3" my body structure also appears to be like that of boys of lesser age. I'm I eligible for growth hormone treatment and should I go for it?

No it is not effectiv now. The height cannot be increased after certain age. And growth hormones have many dangerous effects.
