Ladies and gentlemen, how much have you grown since your period?

Menstruation is an important symbol of adolescent development of girls and the starting point of sexual maturity. At this time, girls and their parents are often most concerned about whether they can grow after menstruation. How long can it last?

The second rapid growth period of girls' height (the first rapid growth period is the first year after birth) is about one year before menarche, and within half a year before and after menarche, the growth rate of girls' height begins to slow down, and the growth rate after menarche slows down obviously, and the average height can increase by 5-7 cm. Generally, there are few people who are 10 cm long after menarche. Such people can grow 2-3 cm after getting married and having children, and they are often tall girls. On the other hand, some girls only grow 2 cm after menarche, but they are all short girls. The following formula can roughly calculate the adult's lifetime height from the height at menarche: adult's lifetime height = height at menarche ÷ (0.9585 0.05438+078).

From the above formula, the height increase after menarche can be estimated. For example, a girl's height at menarche is 150.0 cm, and she can grow 6.5 cm after menarche, ranging from 3.6 to 9.5 cm, that is, an adult's life height may reach 153.6- 159.5 cm. But the final height after menarche depends on the bone age at that time to determine the remaining growth potential.

Judging from the general law of growth and development, it basically stops growing after menstruation. The fastest growth is the year before menstruation, and it may grow more than ten centimeters. There are also few girls.
