Patient's question:
My child has started menstruating and is experiencing abdominal pain. However, my child is quite short and not developing well. They are a bit short in stature and lean. Does a girl grow taller after starting her period?Doctor's answer:
Girls can still grow taller after their menstrual period, so there's no need to worry too much. The child's development is not yet complete, so it's essential to pay close attention to keeping the child's abdomen warm and avoiding them from catching a cold. It's important to keep the child in a good mood and avoid excessive mood swings. Avoid strenuous exercise at all costs. In daily life, you can let the child eat foods high in calcium. Pay close attention to personal hygiene and change underwear and pants frequently. Before and after sexual activity, it's crucial to bathe the private area promptly. The diet should be light, and it's recommended to consume more fresh fruits and vegetables.
