A member asked:
Can you grow after puberty?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Confusing question: Puberty is a stage not an event. It can be as short as 2-3 years in some or extend 7 years in others.It begins with testicular enlargement in males which may go unnoticed. It ends when the growth centers have closed. At 16, you have some potential for further growth if your growth centers are oper (x-ray). If your bone maturity is advanced to the level of a 17-18 yo your growth centers are closed.
