A member asked:

Do you stop growing after you get your period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Eventually: The average girl will grow 2.5 inches or 5 cm after they have their first period. Some more and some a bit less. The begining of menses signals the hormonal changes that will cause the growth centers to close and eventually end linear growth.

Dr Russo and another doctor agreed

Hi. My Dr suggested that I take Miralax every other day bc of no bm..I get a bm around 1 hour later, but on the directions it says to expect a bm in 1 to 3 days. Why do I get bm in such a shorter period of time..is this odd? When do I stop taking it?
