Will my daughter still grow taller when she has her period?

There are many sayings in life, some of which have no scientific basis, but people still believe them. For example, many people say that girls will not grow taller once they have their period. Is there any truth to this saying? It is completely unfounded. Girls do not stop growing because of menstruation. There is not much relationship between height and menstruation.

During the period after women's menarche until the completion of development, their height continues to grow, but the speed of height increase in some women has slowed down relatively. But this doesn't mean they won't grow taller.

The onset of menstruation in women only means that they have entered puberty, but it does not mean that their development has been completed. Therefore, women do not need to worry too much. The statement that "height will not increase after menarche" is not scientific. You can still continue to grow taller after menarche.

The fact that women have menstruation does not mean that their development is complete. For those women who have menstruation, how they can grow taller actually depends on their bone age. Height is a superficial phenomenon of bone development, and bone growth requires a lot of protein, calcium, and many trace elements. It also requires some growth-promoting substances, such as growth hormone, sex hormone, etc.

Therefore, women need to pay attention to supplementing their nutritional intake after menstruation. Calcium and various trace elements are essential, which are necessary for bone growth. In addition, they should pay attention to eating less foods rich in excessive hormones. If hormone intake is excessive, it is easy to cause precocious puberty, which will lead to the cessation of height growth.

At the same time, girls should also pay attention to training. Physical exercise of a certain intensity can easily promote the secretion of growth hormone and achieve the goal of growing taller.

During this process of growth and development, everyone's height increases at a different rate. Some people's height is set in their teens, while others are still developing in their twenties.

In fact, we can rest assured that the impact of menstruation on height is not very large. The primary factor that determines a person's height should be genetics. Seventy-five percent of a child's height is inherited from his or her parents, and the remaining 25 percent depends on external conditions, nutrition, environment, etc.
