A member asked:
Can you still grow taller after your period? if you can, for how many years after?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Onset of periord or menarche does not mean you have stopped growing. Typically growth stops 6-8 years after your period is regular. The onset of menstrual flow usually is followed by the last 'growth spurt' in 2-3 years.
