It is one of the doubts that we have always raised. It has always been talked about, at what age do girls grow up, it is undoubtedly a great debate. We could associate its cessation of growth from when they already have their first menstruation, but it turns out to be a big question among endocrinologists and gynecologists.
There is the question, it is admitted and rectified that girls grow just a few inches after your menarche or menstruation. But some for sure claim that it may be due to several factors that could, if anything, cause increased growth.
How old do girls grow?
Girls like boys are continually growing. Everyone will grow at their own pace, there is no doubt, the only break that can be found This is when girls hit puberty.
It is estimated that it is from the age of 8 when the girl is already beginning to show signs of puberty and from there until reaches 12 years of age it can grow from 20 to 25cm.
Entry into this period starts at 8 or 9 years old and girls are already starting with the breast button and the typical signs like pubic hair and body odor. But this is not an indication that you will have your first period immediately. they are only signs that can occur in a short period of time or maybe until he is about 12 years old.
Another fact to review is that within this period, which is normal to start with 12 years, the girls do not finish growingBut they continue to do so but to a lesser extent. It is estimated that they can grow around about 5 cm more over the next few years.
We would only have to calculate that if girls begin their menarche at 8 or 9 years old undoubtedly all that cap will grow centimeters that they should grow (between 8 or 10 cm), in the same way if they start it at 14 years, which would already be supposed to be later, they would cover the same centimeters of growth reaching only the 2 cm that they would lack.
It is therefore that it does not matter how these cycles evolve, girls will always grow the same inches given one case or the other. It is the same as saying that reaching the age of 18 they will always have the same height that would have been supposed.
Why is this happening?
Yes it is true that the appearance of the rule is a consequence of slow growth. Sex hormones are responsible for growth but also are to blame for sending messages to cartilage pSo that it is time to close and therefore slow down the growth process.
There are girls who can grow up to twelve centimeters in the following years and others who only stay in about 2 or 3 centimeters, It depends a lot on the genetics that dictate its hierarchy.
The growth potential and even the maturation rate of the body is inherited, if it is faster or slower, that will depend on your genetics. Food also plays a very crucial roleSince he is healthy, he has better expectations of developing good growth.
One clue is clear you just have to observe how much the girl grew when she was little To find out what her growth potential will be like in adulthood, if she grew taller than usual she is probably a tall girl. If, on the other hand, she grew an inch or two shorter, she is probably a girl of normal height.
