A member asked:
Should i be concern that i have not hit my growth spurt at 16?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Delayed growth spurt: Girls experience growth spurt at average age 12 and boys do at age 14. Endocrine problem, e.g. Hypothyroidism, or constitutional delay (late bloomer) could be the reason. Check with your pediatrician.
