A member asked:
Is it possible for puberty in a male to stop midway through growth? if so can it be resumed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The basics: Continued growth is possible only when the growth centers themselves are still open. A simple x-ray of the wrist/hand can be assessed for growth centers. If they are open growth (taller) is possible, if not, you are done. The growth centers in males usually close between 16-20.
