Will you still grow taller after menarche?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, after the first menstrual period, it will still grow, but it won't grow as fast as before. Height growth in the body is mainly supported by androgens in the body. After the menstrual period, estrogen in the body will increase, so androgens in the body will decrease, so the growth will slow down.
