Patient's question:
The child in your friend's family has already started menstruating. How much more tall can this child grow? Please help to answer.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the consideration of the issue you provided, your child is currently 11 years old and 152 cm tall. The fact that your child has already started menstruating does not necessarily mean that growth has stopped. Your child is currently in the stage of puberty, and it is recommended that you have your child undergo a bone density test. If the growth plates have not fully closed, it is necessary to supplement calcium tablets for your child, along with vitamin D3. Encourage your child to get more sunlight and engage in more physical activity, as this will help promote height growth.
