A member asked:
Someone stated that if you have hair on the line that connects the belly button to your crotch area then you stop growing. i am 16 years old and have some fine strands (which can be overlooked) around this area. is the fact true and can i grow more?

Some basics: Thick curly genital hair that extends upward from the genitals toward the umbilicus is a marker for stage 5, the final stage of puberty. As a marker for completing the transition in puberty it is expected to be when growth stops. What you describe does not mean you have some or no more growth potential. The accepted consistent marker is an X-ray of growth centers in your wrist/hand.
