Girls can still grow taller even after experiencing their first menstrual period. There is no direct relationship between menarche and height growth.
Height is mainly related to bone development. After the epiphysis closes, bone development stops and height no longer increases. Generally speaking, the epiphyses of females mostly close between the ages of 14 and 16, and it takes about 20 years for the epiphyses to completely close, and there are individual differences.
The average age of women’s menarche is 12 to 16 years old, and the period of time that accompanies menarche is called puberty. Teenagers in this period are at the peak of their growth and development, and their height grows faster, so they should pay attention to the supplementation of various trace elements and vitamins.
Therefore, there is no absolute correlation between the onset of menstruation and height, and it is recommended that you go to the hospital to have an X-ray done and be evaluated by a growth and development doctor.
