Do males continue to grow taller after they are 18?

I am an 18 year old male and I am 5'10", which I know isn't that short, the thing is my dad is 6'3" my mom is only 5'2", but the doctor told me I would be at least 6 foot. Is there any hope for me to reach this even though I'm already 18?

Answers:
Chances are rather slim at this point
Yes till the age of 21
Yes you can grow till the age of 22.
I'm pretty sure it all depends on the person. I'm not sure, but there IS still a chance.. I guess you could go check with a doctor, they can see if your growth plates have sealed. Anyway, you'll probably have to wait and see, to be sure...

One more thing, it all depends on how late you hit puberty. If you started getting pubes at 10 chances are you won't grow much more when you're 18. I'm pretty sure guys grow about 3-6years after they hit puberty. Whether you'll grow depends on a lot of things.
There is alwways a certain chance that a male can grow after 18, it mainly is determained by the person like not all people have puberty at the same time, so they wont stop growing at the same time, thus they can grow after 18 years old. IN addition I think their are options out there that can make someone grow after their normal growth.
yes u have about another 3 years left.
Many do...two of my brothers bloomed later than most..and ended up nearly 6 feet tall.Strangely at the age of 31 I grew an inch, but I wouold attribute that to Yoga.However one never really knows...as the patterns in genetics regarding growth hormones are different obviously for everyone. My Brothers did NOT take anything and this happened, and yes we were as a large family quite surprised..(8 of us)

Well your doctor is the best one to ask, and since he thinks so, chances are yes. We ALL develop differently. Consider some guys barely enter puberty till their late teens to early twenties. On the other hand I've seen guys not much over 10 with mustaches. I myself am 22 and have continued growing, though not by much.
Every guy is different. Most guys I grew up with stopped growing around 17 or even sixteen. Depends on if puberty is over--if you have full beard growth, a treasure trail up your abdomen, look adult, you are probably done. No doctor knows how tall you will be. My brother in laws stopped growing around 19, with most of their growth from 16 to 19. Just depends on your genetics.
