A member asked:
Does it mean when a girl gets her period she will stop growing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
After a while: The average girl will grow 2.5 inches or 5 cm taller after her first period. The hormones that begin the periods accelerate the closure of the growth centers in the long bones.
