Question 1

what is the average size of a 21 yr old boy testicleand at what age they stop growing in size.doesthe size ofpenis stop growing at 21 or vary in years?

Accepted Answer

Done growing: Testicle size can vary but on average about the size of a walnut. At 21 yrs old everything should be at its full size.

Question 2

i saw a link on the internet that genitalia size will continually increase for 1 to 2 years after the boy's height stop growing, is this true?

Accepted Answer

Male genitalia: Usually, by the end of puberty, the penis and testes have reached their adult sizes. There are some variations where boys can have a second height growth spurt even after 18 years old, but that doesn't usually affect genitalia sizes. The important thing is that size of the penis has little significance to being able to have a good sexual relationship.

Question 3

my orthopedic took a x-ray on my lower back and told me my growth plates are closed and i stopped growing taller i am 17 years and i am a boy i thought boys stop growing at age 20 please tell me if there is a chance to grow at least 2 inches?

Accepted Answer

No: My preferred place to evaluate growth centers is the wrist/hand since there are so many to see &amp; published standards. Growth stops in men between 16-18 for most, rarely longer in some. If the growth centers are closed you cannot grow taller.

Question 4

an 8 year old boy has a growing calcium tumor in his brain. what could have caused this and is there anyway to stop the growth? surgery has been ruled out because of connecting nerves near tumor.

Accepted Answer

Need specialist: Brain tumors come in several different types, and in children there are a variety.  This forum won't be enough to be able to provide either diagnostic nor therapeutic advice without more information.  Suggest consulting a neuro-oncologist familiar with pediatric tumors.  https://www.singhealth.com.sg/PatientCare/ConditionsAndTreatments/Pages/Neuro-oncology_old.asp

Question 5

Accepted Answer

No: My preferred place to evaluate growth centers is the wrist/hand since there are so many to see &amp; published standards. Growth stops in men between 16-18 for most, rarely longer in some. If the growth centers are closed you cannot grow taller.

Question 6

when do boys stop growing taller?

Accepted Answer

Around 17-18: Unless the family has a tendency toward late growth, most male growth is done by 17-18. Linear growth continues until the growth centers close, (17-18 in most) some will have slower closure of the centers and continue at a slow pace to 20.An x-ray of the wrist and hand can be assessed for growth centers and determine if growh is still possible.

Question 7

when do late bloomers (boys) stop growing?

Accepted Answer

Growth centers close: You can only grow taller as long as your growth centers are open to new growth.The same hormones that signal puberty signal the growth centers to make a final push to new growth before closing. Late Bloomers just have a delay of growth beyond finishing at 16-17 (males) &amp; may do so into their early 20's. An x-ray of the wrist/hand can be assessed for growth centers. If all closed, you are done.

Question 8

when do late bloomer boys tend to stop growing?

Accepted Answer

Late bloomers can: grow until early college years

would need more specifics about you to give more specific answer.  good news, later bloomers can end up taller than peers!

Question 9

many online websites some written by doctors are saying boys stop growing taller at 16, true or false ?

Accepted Answer

Generally: Generally true though not always. After onset of puberty, growth plates of long bones begin to close, and when completely sealed, there can be no more growth in stature. Later onset puberty may lead to taller final height. Some boys keep growing and some have late spurts, but most boys, by age of 16-17 can no longer gain height.

Question 10

at what age boys stop height growth and iam turning 17 can i grow still taller. iam about 5feet 5inches???

Accepted Answer

Depends on variables: Most males finish their growth by age 17-18. Growth centers in the long bones respond to the hormones of puberty by closing at a predictable pace.An x-ray of your wrist and hand can be assessed for growth plates and if more like a 14-15 yo you could expect more growth.If your growth plates have closed, you are done.
