The first menstruation is an important sign of pubertal development in girls, and it is the starting point of sexual maturity. The main concern of girls and their parents at this time is often whether they can still grow after menstruation. How much more can they grow?
The second fastest growing period of girls’ height (the first rapid growth period is the first year after birth) is about one year before menarche, and 6 months before and after menarche, the growth rate starts to slow down, and the growth rate slows down significantly after menarche, and the average height can still grow 5-7 cm. Generally after the first menstruation and then grow 10 cm people are very few, this kind of people in marriage and children can also grow 2-3 cm taller, often are tall girls; on the other hand there are girls after the first menstruation only grew 2 cm, bias are short girls. The following formula can be used to roughly calculate the adult lifetime height from the height at menarche: Adult lifetime height = height at menarche From the above formula, we can estimate the value of height growth after menarche. For example, a girl who is 150.0 cm tall at menarche may grow 6.5 cm in height after menarche, with a range of 3.6-9.5 cm, i.e., adult lifetime height may reach 153.6-159.5 cm. However, the final decision on the final height after menarche depends on the size of the bone age at that time to determine the remaining growth potential.
