Signs that a girl’s height has stopped growing usually include no significant change in height for about two years, stabilization of physiological characteristics, and epiphyseal closure.
1. No significant change in height in about two years: If a girl’s height has not changed significantly in about two years, almost no growth, then it is very likely that her height has stopped growing. At this time the chances of the height continuing to grow have been gradually reduced, or even no longer.
2. Physiological characteristics are stable: when a girl reaches a certain age, she will have some physiological characteristics, such as menstruation. If a girl is still in the developmental stage, then the amount and cycle of menstruation are generally unstable. However, if the menstruation becomes more and more stable, and basically comes at regular intervals every month, it is very likely to be a sign of stopping the growth.
3. Epiphyseal closure: The epiphysis is a sign that there is still potential for growth, and the epiphysis can promote the growth and thickening of the bone stem. With age, the epiphyses will gradually narrow and close. When X-rays show that the epiphyses have completely closed and the epiphyses and metaphyses are completely fused together, it means that the growth has stopped.
