A member asked:
Just asked question about what causes an adult to start growing again many yrs after puberty ended. doc said normal situation. is that normal to occur?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Growing where?: After puberty, height growth should be stable, but hands, feet and jaw may grow if there is over production of growth hormone by a benign tumor of the pituitary gland and is called acromegaly and should be checked out. Breast and genital growth are influenced by different hormones. Increase in body hair may be seen with PCOS and post menopausal.
