The old saying 'My family has a daughter who has just grown up' is often heard in the streets and alleys. Many people believe that the sign of a girl becoming a woman is the arrival of menarche. But in the past, I used to hear the older generation say that once menstruation comes, they won't grow taller anymore. Is this true? The editor is also a girl. When I was a child, I heard adults say such things. I was very panicked at that time, afraid that I wouldn't grow tall. Today, the editor will take you to learn about whether you can still grow taller after menarche?
Can I still grow taller after menarche
The onset of menstruation in women only indicates that they have entered puberty, but it does not mean that their development has been completed. So women don't need to worry too much, the statement that 'height won't grow again after menarche' is not scientifically valid, and it can still continue to grow taller after menarche.
Menstruation does not have a significant impact on height. The primary factor determining human height should be genetic factors, with 75% of a child's height being inherited from their parents, and the remaining 25% depending on external conditions, nutrition, environment, and so on.
Precautions after menarche
1. After menstruation, women need to pay attention to supplementing their nutrient intake. Calcium and various trace elements are essential for bone growth.
2. Pay attention to eating less food that is rich in excessive hormones. If hormone intake is excessive, it can easily lead to precocious puberty, which can result in the cessation of height gain.
3. Girls should also pay attention to training. A certain intensity of physical exercise can easily promote the excretion of growth hormones and achieve the goal of growing taller.
Many girls go through a period of confusion about their height after menarche. After menarche, girls will continue to grow taller, but not so quickly. So, girls, let go of the burden of not being tall, relax and enjoy the process of transforming from a girl to a woman.
