A member asked:

My daughter is 13 she had her period at age 10 she is really short i wonder what could i do to help her would she still grow?

Growth: take her to her pediatrician or family doctor and discuss her height with them. She will need a bone age to see if her growth plates are fused. If they are not, she may be a candidate for growth hormone. With her early age of menarche she may not be a candidate.
