Patient's question:
4 years old, menstruated at the age of 12, was 1.49 at that time, now 1.53. I heard that girls can't grow taller after their first period, is that true? My father is 1.63, my mother is 1.52. What kind of assistance do you need: give me a cor...Doctor's answer:
The height of the body has no direct relationship with the onset of menstruation. The onset of menstruation is caused by the excretion and metabolic breakdown of estrogen. As long as the ovarian function exceeds the normal state, menstruation will occur. However, the growth of the body is not determined by estrogen. It is determined by growth hormone, but it can be affected by various different factors, such as generational inheritance, exercise volume, nutritional status, and the body's metabolic breakdown function. The growth period of girls is generally between 12 and 16 years old, but growth is still possible after the growth period, just at a much slower rate. At the age of 14, under normal circumstances, you can still grow significantly. However, in reality, growth is affected by various factors and has uncertain elements. Generally, appropriate physical exercise and attention to nutritional balance, as well as adequate rest, can have a certain effect on height growth.Although from the perspective of generational inheritance, your height may not grow much more, human genes can be altered or significantly changed by environmental factors. Generational inheritance is just one factor and can also be influenced by postnatal factors. Nowadays, with better nutrition, children are often taller than their parents.
Advice: To maximize potential height growth, ensure you get enough rest and maintain a regular lifestyle (especially avoiding overwork), avoid picky eating, engage in appropriate physical exercise (such as stretching or running), and spend more time outdoors (as ultraviolet exposure plays a crucial role in calcium absorption, and calcium is essential for bone growth). The above speculation and suggestions are for your reference, and I hope they can help you solve the problem.
