Medical Video: Human Growth Facts : When Do Teenage Girls Stop Growing?
Growth in children will continue to occur since in the womb until before entering adulthood. During adolescence, girls will begin the preparation phase as adults and until finally they stop growing. This preparation phase will occur very quickly affecting its size. Now, when will the growth of girls stop? What parts of the girl's body will develop and grow? How long will it all grow rapidly until it stops and doesn't grow again? Check out the review below.
Growth of girls stops at puberty
Growth of women in general will stop when their puberty ends. This is when the epiphyseal plate, the plate in the long bones is closed. When the epiphyseal plate is closed, the possibility of increasing height will be smaller.
Well, this all depends on when puberty begins and ends. Every child will experience different puberty. Most girls in puberty can be experienced at the age of 10-14 years. There are even some children who start puberty at the age of 16 years. But if you are more than 16 years old not yet experiencing puberty, you need to consult a doctor.
When puberty begins, girls will experience accelerated growth and start menstruation for the first time. Two years after entering puberty girls will usually reach their peak height.
During the last 2 years of the onset of puberty children will experience rapid growth in height. Usually this phase is achieved at the age of 14-15 years but this depends again on when he starts his puberty phase.
After this peak height growth is reached, the first menstruation will begin immediately. For example, puberty begins at the age of 10 years, then the possibility of peak height can be obtained at 12 years.
No wonder there are a number of recommendations that recommend stimulating the growth of girls' height immediately before he menarche (first menstruation) to pursue his height growth.
Despite the peak growth of girls before menarche, height is usually still growing up to 7-10 cm after menstruation. But the growth of height after menstruation does not occur quickly when compared to menstruation.
Each child will vary how much more he will increase in height until growth stops completely before he reaches adulthood.
What about the growth of other organs?
Breast growth is a change that occurs from the beginning of puberty. When girls enter puberty, those who tend to experience the first change are the size of their breasts and the shape of their hips that will be more shaped like an adult woman in general.
Breast growth begins to develop usually 2-2.5 years before a girl gets her first menstruation. Breasts can begin to grow and grow to become bigger at the age of 8 years. Reported on the Healthline page, Karen Gill MD explains, breast growth will be perfect around 1-2 years after a girl has passed her first menstruation.
If the first menstruation is at the age of 12, then around the age of 13 and 14 years the function of her breasts is fully formed. Even though it has perfect function, the breast will still grow and develop until the age of 18 years. For example, there will be developments in the shape and contour until the breast shape is really like the breast of an adult in general.
What can inhibit the growth of girls?
Nutritional intake is one factor that is very important for growth and development. Lack of fat in women can delay the occurrence of puberty in women, therefore good fat for girls must be fulfilled sufficiently.
In addition, inhibition of growth can also occur because there are health problems, especially in the pituitary gland or thyroid gland. These glands will produce important hormones for growth and development.
If hormone production is blocked due to interference with these glands, the process of growth and development will not run smoothly.
