Question

Can you still grow taller after 18?

Answer

Generally speaking, girls enter the late stage of puberty after menarche, and their growth rate slows down, with an additional growth of about 5 to 7 centimeters possible. This can be predicted through bone age measurement. The occurrence of pediatric orthopedic diseases can severely affect patients’ work. In addition to timely treatment, patients need to pay more attention to daily care. They should eat more vegetables and fruits, and consume foods rich in calcium to avoid or reduce the chance of illness.
