      How tall can a girl grow after her period? Some people say that "girls don't grow taller after menstruation." In fact, this is not the case. After girls enter puberty, an important physiological characteristic is that their height increases rapidly, ranging from 4 to 5 centimeters per year to 8 to 10 centimeters at most.

      How tall can a girl grow after her period? According to relevant statistics, most girls can continue to grow 5 to 7 centimeters after menarche, and a very few can grow more than 10 centimeters. When many girls reach the age of 16 to 18, their epiphyses close and their bodies no longer grow taller. Some girls don't stop growing until they are 22 to 23 years old. To predict whether you can still grow taller, you can use the bone age prediction method. If a girl grows to 18 years old, but her bone age is only 15 years old, then the child will continue to grow taller. ; If her age is 18 and her bone age is 19, then she will no longer grow taller. 》》》 Women take care of themselves5A hidden part of your health
