Do girls grow taller when they have their period?



The term “menstruation” is generally used to refer to a woman’s period. In general, girls may still grow when they menstruate, but the rate of growth may be limited.

A girl’s first menstrual period occurs before her bones are completely closed, but height growth continues until the bones are completely closed, so it is possible for a girl to continue to grow taller if she has her period.

Generally, after the first menstruation, a girl’s height will still increase by about 5 to 6 centimeters, but each person’s individual differences are still relatively large, and need to be judged according to the child’s age, bone age and other circumstances.

If you are not satisfied with your child’s height, it is recommended that you go to a regular hospital in a timely manner to have your child’s bone age examined under the guidance of a professional physician, so that a clear diagnosis can be made and corresponding treatment measures can be taken.
