A member asked:
When do girls stop growing after first menstruation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Young women will often grow some for the 3 years following their first menses. When it slows to less than an inch/year it is near the end. An x-ray of the wrist/hand can be studied to see if further growth is possible or if the height is final.
