Signs of halted height development
Disease description:
Recently, I've noticed that my child's height hasn't shown significant growth over the past one to two years. Many people say this means their height has stopped developing. So, what are the signs that height growth has stopped?

Signs that height growth has stopped may include the development of secondary sexual characteristics in males, such as increased testicular volume, and gradual growth of pubic and facial hair. In females, signs may include the onset of menstruation or breast development with gradual enlargement of the breasts. Additionally, an important indicator is the complete closure of the epiphyseal growth plates. This condition generally suggests that height growth is about to stop or has already ceased.
